1976年生于芬兰赫尔辛基，现于西班牙托莱多工作及生活。
瑞康·斯肯纳是21世纪艺术流派“涡轮式现实主义”的创始人，以嘲讽式的逼真描述抨击资本主义全球化。他通过素描、油画、壁画、幻灯片、装置和介入艺术等形式表达对消费文化的看法，从快餐到性交易以及从大型购物商场到贩毒集团的内容都在他的作品中有所涉及。他崇信毕加索的至理名言“艺术不是用来装饰厅堂的，而是抵御敌人的武器”。
斯肯纳2002年从芬兰美术学院毕业后，就移居到西班牙工作生活。 他的作品已经在纽约现代艺术博物馆、伦敦卡姆登艺术中心、赫尔辛基奇亚斯玛当代艺术博物馆等世界各地的画廊和博物馆中广泛展出，同时也被纽约现代艺术博物馆等机构永久收藏。
Forsblom画廊自2015年起开始代理瑞康·斯肯纳。

Riiko Sakkinen’s exhibition PRESIDENTTIPELI (Presidetial Games) opened on December 1 at the Hyvinkää Art Museum. To mark Finland’s centennial celebrations, Sakkinen has painted portraits of all 12 Presidents of the Republic of Finland on the white walls of the museum.
Voima Magazine interviewed Riiko Sakkinen about his upcoming exhibition at the Serlachius Museum in the summer of 2024.
In Fuengirola, Spain, there is a settlement of Finns where they are aiming for a kind of utopia. Riiko Sakkinen observes the Finnish community of Fuengirola, i.e. the people of Fuge, from an excellent position. He was born in Helsinki but has lived almost half of his life in Spain. He has been interested in studying Finnishness through art but hasn't come up with the right idea to implement this before.
"Then I discovered this kind of Finnishness some hundreds of kilometers away from home! I'm good at recognizing where the border between Finnishness and Spanishness lies."
Sakkinen has applied a form of academic research to his work at Fuge. He interviewed locals with a structured set of questions and read all the background material he could find on the subject. Still, it is an art project. In the Los Moimoi de Fuengirola series, for example, there are works that present statistics describing the attitudes and values of the people of Fuengirola. Although the diagrams look real, the artist has made them up on his own.
"Maybe those are good guesses. I could have used real studies, but the studies related to fugelians are old and not very interesting."
The chosen method fits the art defined by the artist himself as turborealism. While realism presents the world as it appears, turborealism, according to Sakkinen, shows it as it is. Even if the truth is stretched a bit.

The Art Critic Recommends Riiko Sakkinen's Newly Opened Exhibition
"RIIKO SAKKIEN's bazaar hanging offers familiar themes, from the cannibalism of fast food mascots to the criticism of capitalism. What's new is the craftsmanship and strikingness of the works, which almost beats the original sales packaging."
