Olavi Viheriälä is a self-taught artist from Helsinki, and his art combines abstract art and street art using acrylic and spray paint, knives, and digital art. Besides abstract art, Olavi makes art reflecting football culture, such as Finland’s national football team, fan culture, and association football club.
“Finnish football team “Huuhkajat” fulfilled a dream of generations by fighting their way to the European Football Championships. Due to the pandemic, Euro2020 games were postponed to summer 2021 and Finland will play the first match in June. “Pohjoiskaarre” is the official supporter audience of Huuhkajat and an integral part of the Finnish football fan scene. This piece is made to honor the growing Finnish football culture and to support Finland’s support in Euro 2020 games.”
