The Philosophy Behind My Works I do not approach art as a carpenter approaches the making of a cabinet — following a precise plan toward a predetermined result.

The term was introduced by artist Tapio Vuorinen as a clearer way to describe his own approach. The works based on that are presented on his Saatchi Art Finland profile . Some adjustments are still being made to this artwork (lust) on Saatchi Art Finland to better showcase the painting in image form. A new image will be published later this year, after which the current version will no longer be available on the print service.
