The Roots (Juuret/ Las Raíces) by Mirka Sarajarvi

Mexico

Mexico

THE ROOTS: Inspiration for creating the roots aroused because I wanted to present something genuinely me for this competition. I feel quickly home where ever I go, but my main roots are in Finland. Often I long for my homeland’s peacefulness and clean nature, it’s cold, snowy winter days and dark autumn nights when the aurora borealis dance on the sky. The design of the rug depicts the roots we all lay to our homeland which stay even life may sometimes take us far away. Aurora borealis and white snow shine on the colors beside of a dark winter night.
THE ROOTS (JUURET): Halusin luoda tähän kilpailuun työn, joka kertoo aidosti minusta. Olen kuin kotonani minne tahansa menenkin, mutta juureni ovat aina Suomessa. Usein uudessa kotimaassani Meksikossa ikävöin Suomen rauhaa ja puhdasta luontoa, sen kylmiä, lumisia pakkaspäiviä sekä pimeitä syysiltoja, jolloin revontulet tanssivat taivaalla. Juuret-sarjan matot kuvaavat juuriamme kotimaahamme, jotka pysyvät vaikka elämä joskus veisi meidät kauaskin. Värivaihtoehdoissa loistavat revontulet, lumihanget ja pimeä talviyö.

En español

THE ROOTS (Las raíces): La inspiración para la creación de las raíces nació por la motivación de presentar algo de mi esencia para esta competición. Me siento en casa en cual quiera lugar donde estoy, pero mis raíces principales están siempre en Finlandia. A menudo extraño la tranquilidad de mi tierra y su naturaleza, los días de invierno cuanto todo el entorno está cubierto de nieve y las noches oscuras y frías de otoño, cuando las auroras boreales bailan en el cielo como fuegos misteriosas. El diseño de la alfombra representa las raíces que tenemos en nuestra tierra natal. Las opciones de colores incluyen las auroras boreales en la noche, nieve blanca y noche de invierno.

About Mirka Sarajarvi

Mirka Sarajärvi is a Finnish designer who lives in Mexico.
Mirka got interested in colors immediately when she got her first crayons. As a teenager she started experiencing with oil painting and ceramics, but the most exited she got when she learned to do graphic design with a computer. The Computer is such a fast way to make sketches and try out colors, almost as fast as imagination! Nowadays digital art is one of Mirka’s favorite hobbies.
Mirka Sarajärvi on suomalainen designeri, joka asuu nykyisin perheineen Meksikossa.

Mirka kiinnostui väreistä heti saatuaan ensimmäiset värikynänsä – hän vain piirsi piirtämistään. Teinivuosina hän kokeili öljyvärimaalausta ja keramiikan tekoa. Eniten hän kuitenkin innostui taiteilusta kun hän oppi käyttämään tietokonetta suunnittelun apuvälineenä – koneella homma hoituu lähes ajatuksen nopeudella! Nykyisin digitaide on yksi Mirkan lempiharrastuksista.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
