Finnish Illustrator Creates Dream‑like Forest Worlds With Watercolour, Ink And Starlight Turning Nordic Folklore Into Soft, Escapist Magic
Ulla Thynell is a Finnish artist, illustrator, designer and photographer based near Helsinki, best known for dreamy fantasy and fairy‑tale imagery rooted in forests, folklore and Nordic myth.
She works mainly with watercolour, inks, pens and coloured pencils, often combining traditional drawings with subtle digital colour and texture, and has created art books (like Faraway Dreaming), wall calendars, and illustrations for titles such as Nordic Tales and various Finnish children’s books. Her pictures are filled with dense woods, starry skies, foxes, unicorns and other creatures, rendered in soft, layered colour that invites viewers into quiet, escapist worlds.
