Matti Sirvio was born in Sotkamo, Finland. Since 2006 he has been working in Istanbul , Turkey. He has lived and worked in Russia, USA, Sweden, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and in Kazakstan. He travelled extensively all over Central-Asia from Turkey to China. After moving to Istanbul he picked up his passion for painting again.
The bright and strong colors of Central Asia and the Caucasus had captivated his soul. Sirvio's style is Semi-abstract Expressionism. They reflect his impressions from the Orient and the North. He is a colorist. Bold combination of cold and warm colors communicates an interesting message that leads the spectator to consider the fundamental questions of our very existence. The works speak of eternity and invite us with optimism of light to observe and to believe. The tapestry of the cultures and religions of the Middle-East touches the current issues with symbols and joyful details. During the past years Sirvio has had exhibitions in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, England, Russia, Austria and Finland.
