Markku Sarastamo<\/h1>\n\n\n

Hämeenlinna (1948)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being an ITE artist, Markku Sarastamo is also a children’s author, storyteller, yogi, judoka, magician, inventor and Esperantist. You could say that Sarastamo is Self-Made Life personified as he has been guided by curiosity, a desire to experiment and by his imagination since he was a little boy. Sarastamo’s commitment to projects at hand is infectious and inspiring, and his projects have featured in dozens of papers over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarastamo has brought several areas of his art together under the title Karbujo-Hiilimaa in recent years. The fantastic fairy-tale world of Karbujo encompasses a trilogy of stories and a visual world that keeps expanding with new sculptures and digital illustrations. The latter, in particular, are often incredibly detailed and imaginatively flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarastamo’s fantasy book for children and adults Kreivitär ja hänen huikea elämänsä<\/em> (‘The Countess and her amazing life’) is available in Finnish and Esperanto on Sarastamo’s website www.markkusarastamo.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
