Artist, craftsman Yrjö Moilanen started artistic production more than thirty years ago in Pudasjärvis Puhoskylä in the workshop completed in 1991. First, individual furniture was produced.
Operations continue there even today.

Yrjö has not attended art schools, but his skills have developed through work. Drawing and sculpting were a hobby already at a young age.
The works of art have a strong realistic presentation, both in sculpture, paintings and intarsia work. Often the meticulous way of working gives influences even to oil paintings, such as Strangers 1998.

The best creative period was from 1992 to 2008, when the largest commissioned works and intarsia boards were completed.
For example - A Woman in an Oasis 1994, its historical presentation takes you to the Egyptian desert 1000 years before the beginning of our era. Does the traveler in the desert take with him art objects from the looting of the tombs of the Pharaohs, the oldest intarsia works are know from there.

Intarsia = embedding and fitting 3 mm thick wood, metal or stone veneers with invisible seams to precious wood or plywood.
Works of art in private collections in Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, United States and England.
