About Christmas

Domestic Christmas stamps depict gingerbread men who have come to life and have gone off to ice skate in a landscape that naturally includes a gingerbread house and Christmas trees, says illustrator Nina Kuu who designed the stamps.

Designing stamps was an instructive project for Nina Kuu who has previously done large murals, for example. “I have never made an illustration so small in size yet so significant. My style is full of details and very rich, which meant I had to keep simplifying the illustrations. On the third draft round, I started to find the core of stamp design.”

Nina Kuu confesses to being a Christmas lover. “For me, Christmas is the most important celebration of the year when spending time together is key. My siblings and I usually gather in Vaasa at our parents’ home with our families. Our Christmas traditions have remained the same over the years. The greatest thing to see and empathize is the joy of children and the excitement on Christmas Eve when Santa Claus arrives and gifts are given.”
