About this artwork

Tove Jansson was a multitalented individual, working as a Finnish author, painter, and illustrator who communicated in Swedish. She's the brains behind the 'Moomin' book series, a fun-filled adventure featuring a quirky family of pale, round beings with vivid imaginations. Despite their large snouts giving them a hippo-like appearance, these whimsical creatures are actually called trolls. This particular print showcases Snorkmaiden, a close companion and playmate of Moomintroll, and Mrs Fillyjonk, a neighboring family member, as they gather flowers on a wind-swept day.

About the artist

Tove Jansson, a Swedish-speaking Finnish author, painter, and illustrator, is well known for her 'Moomin' book series featuring round, white characters with large snouts, akin to hippos but referred to as trolls. Growing up, her father Viktor's conservative views clashed with Tove's more liberal mindset. Still, she admired his work and the artistic environment shaped her character. At 15, Tove journeyed to Sweden to attend the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, followed by internships at various European art schools.

Upon her return, she leveraged her experience, gained early by collaborating with a popular children's magazine, to illustrate books and create caricatures for different clients. Her Moomin series, popular mid-20th century, elevated her to fame, with several spin-off illustrated books, comics, a play, and a musical libretto adding to her popularity. The attention became overwhelming and so she purchased an island in the Gulf of Finland for privacy. Despite her literary success, Tove considered herself an artist first and foremost.
