Tulikettu / Firefox mural with light art

Dimensions: 3,1 x 22,6 meters
Mediums: acrylic paints and spray paints 
Project year: 2024

The city of Rovaniemi and the Sitowise company commissioned this mural and with lighting designer Anssi Mäkinen we created this artwork under the iconic Jätkänkynttilä bridge at Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland.

A folklore legend of an arctic fox with a sparkling tail running across the sky and thus creating the aurora borealis was the starting point. During dark hours (which are many in the polar winter) the grayscale painting is lit up with colourful moving auroras generating a magical feeling.
