This is my first time coming out into public with my new style. I couldn't draw or paint for a year. No matter what I did, it didn't feel right. Now I am back and better than ever. A cow is a symbol of continuity. I hope my beginning has continuity and is not just a beginning that doesn't get any further than that. The piece is left "unfinished" because I am not finished in my journey either.
 
Mimma Helse is a Finnish-French visual artist whose work is driven by intuition, with little planning beyond the initial subject. From that point on, it's about communicating with what the art needs. The artist’s personal needs and desires are reflected through bold colours and expressive forms. Mimma is currently pursuing a Master of Arts.
