Thank you so much for the kind words! I don't know if Finns are especially talented artwise, but I'm very glad to hear that. Traditionally our culture favours more hard labour and engineering is pretty much the only acceptable job for a creative mind, while art is mostly regarded as useless nonsense.
Maybe the newer generations are changing the views, since now Finland is know for it's video games and not mobile phones!
PS: Thank you for the +follow!

Don't worry, same situation is in my country, I am even a victim of such thinking. Well, it sounds familiar probably because we don't live that far from each other My conclusion about talented Finns comes out of searching through DA, every time I watch peoples works there's always someone from Finland among them. So, you are very productive And being so unpretentious I am afraid that you underestimate a bit your country. Of course, Nokia connecting people, but when I hear Finland I see also Muminki (Muummi? Mummi? Muumi? I can't remeber original title...), vodka (shame on me... but let just say it's an art of drinking or support for creators ), stool with 3 legs, orange scissors, Linux, paper production, sauna, clean water and Santa Claus in Rovaniemi! I write letters to him every year! With my children And of course a lot of metal bands I am sure I could easily name at least 10 bands without thinking. OMG, now I have to check, lol I counted 13 And probably I know more only I don't remember now. Concerning 'video games', I am pig ignorant I'm afraid, do you write about those on mobile phones? Like Angry Birds? Because, honestly, I cannot recall any title of game for PS/PC/Mac... Finland is not known only for Nokia, that's for sure. I believe that many people can say a lot more and a bit wiser than me about your country.
So have a nice weekend and thank you for the fav

Yeah, I've heard about that situation in Poland from a lot of podcasts. Seems like a ton of incredible concept artists come from Poland nowdays. But yeah, you are obviously quite familiar with a lot of Finnish stuff, especially I love Muumi myself! And obviously if you're a fan of metal music, there's quite a bunch from here. But even in music, Finns tend to have a complex with Sweden doing better in popular music. ABBA is obviously great, but I wouldn't disregard ie. HIM still.
As for the games, yeah, some of the bigger Finnish games are for mobile: Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale etc. But there's quite a few for other platforms as well: Max Payne, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Legend of Grimrock, Trials, Trine, Cities Skylines, Shadowgrounds, Super Stardust and so on. (Yeah, I'm the gaming nerd.) Then again Poland has CD Project RED with Witcher, which is huge right now. I can't wait for their upcoming Cyberpunk game!
Have a great weekend as well, nice to share views and art!
