" Minna presents an imaginative and varied body of work that showcases her deep passion for drawing and detailed mark-making. Her illustrations demonstrate a finely controlled yet lyrical approach to her craft. Her approach is both economically stylised and richly expressive, blending a graphic sensibility with genuine heart. Minna’s exhibition is a sensitive exploration of traditional methods — drawing, painting, and printmaking—seamlessly integrated with contemporary techniques such as computer-aided design, printing, and 3D cutting. The reference to the historical Icarus story, alongside natural bird forms, instantly engages the viewer through familiar imagery and narrative. The work invites tactile interaction, allowing the audience to experience the beauty of the images and the unfolding of the overall story. Minna’s impressive use of materials and processes results in a cohesive and heartfelt exhibition that bridges the traditional and the modern. "
