"Artist Mikko Bossa painting is experimental and has strong colors. His approach to contemporary painting is juicy and has surprising elements. I have observed Mikko Kirjavainens artistic career since I was headmaster during his studies in Academy of Fine Art. His private exhibitions has shown continuum and rebirth of character. He has brought to our collection of materials many - sided mastery of paintings over transparent acrylic. His new discovery is tar and chalk expressions. Beside he is artist he is also performance artist, musician, lyric. A real multiartist. And plus he is also about to graduate as Innovation Consultant. The most significant character In his painting expressions is multi interpretative. His abstractions are organic and lyrical. Lyricism has been characteristic to all his art work from the beginning."

"Painter in the center of the white color. Mikko´s exhibition has been one of this year finest. As a starting point he has been examining the white color. Mikko has analysed whiteness throughout the seascape and horizon line. As a result is the exhibition where nature’s forces and the play of light is concentrated in to the one abstract and poetical form. The whole exhibition is like opening one giant light molecule. From the light rises microcosmos and cosmic forms. Circle splits to Jin and Yang forms - feminine and masculine. Together they are forming ellipses finally splats and break to thousands of bubbles and melting back in the cycle of the universe. This exhibition is like time travel which take the visiter back to the eastern roots of the abstract art."
