Lukka has welded fundamental academic training with audacious innovation. He is a master of solid, full-bodied, yet whimsical painting. The surfaces of some of his paintings resemble broken land terrain. The artist craftily incorporates an additional "sculptural" element into his works that imbues them with greater power and appeal.

Lukka's imagination is unbridled. His paintings evoke mysterious Hoffmanesque fantasies where fairy tales and murky legends are playfully admissive of buffoonery, slapstick and hoax.

Lukka's works are akin to a never-ending fancy dress ball or a practical joke; all faces are masked, nature looks like stage props, reality turns into a stage, but the performance morphs into reality. The impact is enhanced multifold by the fact that Lukka has no "trade secrets." The artist's magical world comes into being, literally, before our eyes.
