“I painted this wall in Jyväskäla a small city 350 km North from Helsinki for Upea art festival. The city is sourrounded by an amazing nature, lakes and forests everywhere. I feel very inspired and I wanted to underline the relationship between small things and ourselves and how something that seems nothing could be everything.” Millo
