In a world where everything is slowly becoming digital, Finnish artist Sami Havia has not yet lost touch with the past, painting pictures on old audio cassettes, depicting album covers of famous bands and individual artists from different times. Using old and unusable cassettes as a painting canvas, Sami truly recreates a beautiful combination of music and art.
Finnish artist Sami Havia has been fond of drawing since childhood, drawing inspiration from comics, cartoons, graffiti and music album covers. But the guy seriously thought about art as a profession, being a teenager.
While listening to the album Arise of the Brazilian metal band Sepultura, Sami was looking at the cover of their album, made by Michael Whelan. He was amazed at how much the music and the picture on the cover were in harmony with each other, and at that moment the future artist thought that this was what he wanted to do.
The idea to paint on cassettes came to him when Sami Hawia was in his fifth year at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. Students were given a project to create a certain work of art from used and already unnecessary things. Then he first performed a drawing on old audio cassettes. Cassettes are the very first format for recording and playing music, which Sami Hawia got to know as a child, so his choice of material was quite natural.
The first independent exhibition of works by the Finnish artist Home / away took place in October 2006 in Helsinki. Since this year, from time to time, his work can be seen at various group exhibitions and shows.
