Eino is an internationally acclaimed Finnish-American sculptor. He has carved hundreds of stone sculptures and created numerous bronze works for public and private collections. Being in his presence, one has met a man who thinks deeply, and cares passionately, for the earth and her children. Eino’s art has been influenced greatly by the philosophers Ghandi, Lin Yutang and Goethe. In exploring their writings, Eino has come to understand the significance of becoming more conscious and purposeful; this is reflected in the clarity of the themes portrayed through his art. Archipenko and Henry Moore were two sculptors who greatly inspired Eino…their work gave validity to Eino’s urge to move beyond traditional expressions in sculpture, and to create an entirely new genre that he calls “modern classics.” When one encounters a sculpture by Eino, one is inspired to think deeply, love fully and live abundantly.
This Book introduces a representative selection of Eino’s work, which spans a thirty year period. The medium he has chosen brings an organic stability to a tumultuous world. He hopes to restore and cultivate a curiosity and respect for the beauty of the earth and her children.
