Johnny sat before me and said he wanted something fun—something that could hang on the wall and make everyone smile. This was my very first commissioned piece, created for an incredible collector who owns Ferrari in Scandinavia—which is about as cool as it gets.
The vision was to celebrate the very first Ferrari ever made, the 1947 Ferrari 125 S, and to reimagine it beyond the racetrack. I set out to create a scene where Italian engineering meets Scandinavian design and a classic car becomes a symbol of adventure and joy.
I reimagined the 125 S as if it were born inside a Scandinavian glass igloo: its polished curves shimmering like frosted crystal, reflecting the pale winter sun. You could almost feel the contrast—an engine forged to race, cloaked in the quiet poetry of snowfall.
Inside this icy jewel of a car sit two unlikely companions: a Lego figure, proudly reminding us of the Danish motto “leg godt”—“play well”—and a loyal husky, his blue eyes fixed on the horizon. Together, they embodied a spirit of adventure.
I love to think of them driving straight towards us—emerging from the cold into a warmer world. It is an artwork not just about a Ferrari, but about the joy of crossing boundaries, the elegance of unlikely combinations, and the pure fun of imagining a car that could be both Italian legend and Scandinavian wonder.
And really—how cool is that?
