"Riikka Fransila is collage artist, based in Helsinki Finland. Her surreal pieces juxtapose imagery that otherwise would not be caught together. The witty, humorously subversive works attest to Riikka's substantial awareness of surrealism, Pop-art and Dadaism." Helsinki Heroes, Art Gallery

  • Illustrations for FORBES

    I had the opportunity to create illustrations for Forbes for their finance supplement. I can say that the task wasn't easy. I use Vintage-era materials, so I really had to get creative with illustrations related to stock prices and virtual currencies. My client was extremely pleased with the final result, and so was I. I love challenges!

  • Fiskars’ Scissors 50th Anniversary Exhibition

    I was invited to participate in Fiskars’ Scissors International 50th Anniversary Exhibition at the Helsinki Design Museum. Some of the works were inspired by the scissors as an object, some by their orange colour, and others by their function of cutting. This was a great honor and a true launching point for my collage art career. PS. I love my Fiskars Scissors.
