6.12.2017 Finland turned 100 years-old! Yeay, freedom sure tastes good!! So in celebration, I decided to make a modern version of a classic finish painting. I chose to remake painting called “Kullervo’s curse” (“Kullervon kirous”), by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1899). Kullervo’s curse is part of his series of painings portraying Kalevala.

My version depicts narcissistic modern-day Kullervo taking a selfie while being scantily clothed standing in snow. Instead of being cursed, this Kullervo thinks he is “blessed”...Trust me, I really am celebrating the 100th year of Finnish autonomy, I just have a weird way of showing it.
