Riiko Sakkinen

"Art is a weapon and the weapons can change the world. Good art is irreverent, excessive, controversial, incorrect, irritating, ironic, bad behaving, playful and beautiful or ugly."

"I always disagree. I am always wrong. I'm a perpetual dissident. I like things I don’t understand."

"I paint what you love to hate and what you hate to love."

"I'm trying to change the world or at least to make the horrors of the global capitalism visible. I don't care much about art. I used to be a total artist but now I'm more a human being."
