Artist Statement

My goal for this book cover was to stand apart from the typical portrayals, which focus on showcasing the silhouettes of characters or numerous events. I wanted to depict the collection of stories that is the Grimm's Fairy Tales in a mysterious yet picturesque fashion. I illustrated one particular narrative titled "The Golden Key." It describes how a poor boy clearing the ground for a fire pit found a small golden key beneath the snow. He then finds an iron box in the ground. The key fitted the lock, but what kind of wonderful things there were in the chest is left up to the imagination of the reader. With my design I hope to engage viewers by figuratively giving them the key to these stories. — Carli Ollerman
