Mikko Heino is a Finnish visual artist based in Berlin whose work draws from graphic design, comics, skate culture, and popular imagery. His bold, simplified compositions present playful, cartoon-like worlds filled with bright color and familiar forms. Beneath this approachable surface, however, his work carries a quiet tension slowly revealing darker undertones. By pairing visual humor with subtle unease, Heino explores the contradictions between innocence and experience, creating images that feel both accessible and psychologically layered.
