Gallery: Immense Cow Sculptures Made F...
A finished creation made entirely from used car parts.
The award-winning artist has been working with cows and studying art for almost 50 years. It is no wonder then that she has fused both worlds to create these immense scrap metal structures. Miina shapes huge vehicle parts become sections of the cows, arranging their limbs and heads in different positions.
Miina honors the inspiration for her art, paying tribute to her ‘models’ (cows) on her website with a series of photos. She clearly knows the cows inside out: the huge metal sculptures abstractly resemble the living creatures.

Her work is about a very specific cow: Finland’s indigenous Kyytto cattle which she helped save from extinction. She has devoted her life and art to them.
