Mattila is interested in the fundamental elements that create our sense, or illusion, of the world. Nature is his biggest single inspiration. He is also interested in the constructive principles of the universe such as infinity, smallness, greatness and time.{{cite web | title=Finnguide: Artists in Salmela’s Cultural Summer 2008 | url=http://www.finnguide.fi/events/artdetail.asp?a=5074 | access-date=2008-10-26 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717050102/http://www.finnguide.fi/events/artdetail.asp?a=5074 | archive-date=2011-07-17 | url-status=dead }} Among his paintings he has made sculptures, installations and art furniture.{{cite web | title=Pallautuneet | url=http://www.oulu.ouka.fi/taidemuseo/e_toiminta/mattila.htm | access-date=2008-10-24 | archive-date=2011-07-20 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720010903/http://www.oulu.ouka.fi/taidemuseo/e_toiminta/mattila.htm | url-status=dead }}{{cite news
