Top street art in Vantaa

Map of street art in Vantaa (Finland)

This city in the Helsinki region, Finland's second most populous, carries a mural titled Super Vision, depicting a girl and a bear in a forest.

The bear holds a particular place in Finnish culture, where it was the sacred animal of pre-Christian belief and remains the national animal. Pairing it with a child in a forest setting calls directly on that imagination, in a country three-quarters covered in forest.

Finland long had the most repressive graffiti policy in Europe: from 1998 to 2008 Helsinki ran a zero tolerance campaign, with systematic removal and prosecutions, before reversing course completely and opening legal walls. That shift produced an active mural scene within a few years, from which the region's cities benefit.
