I wanted to create a piece inspired by Finnish nature and was compelled to create a painting depicting an 'ikimetsä', an undisturbed old forest. 'Kuvajainen' in Finnish means a mirage,  a hallucination or a reflection. I made this mixed media painting with poster colors and watercolors. I wanted the rendering of the characters to be simplistic compared to the highly detailed background so that the painting would look like a moment from an animation.”
