Hugo Simberg translated the "marginal experiences" of the Symbolist way of seeing into his pictures. He transposed experiences of nature into often frightening figures which at times bear only a general resemblance to mankind. He proclaims the unity of creature and cosmos in his small-format works in impressive fashion.
