A Story Behind the Flowers

My first series, Veräjä, takes its name from Veräjälaakso in Helsinki, where I collected the flowers. I gathered and dried the plants in early autumn 2025.

In my studio, I began creating new, sometimes even playful combinations from them, while exploring my own inner romantic.

My aim was to create a watercolour-like, graphic atmosphere — while preserving the precise photographic details of the flowers, revealed when viewed up close.

Kukkei by Sampo is a personal photographic art project in which every work begins with a real flower and its unique form.

I hope these works bring a sense of calm, a touch of nature and joy to your space.

Welcome to explore the collection and discover something that brings you joy!
