A tribute to Mom

Luleå HF

Today we have the pleasure to present the Swedish Elitserien team Luleå´s keeper David Rautio´s new mask. I have been working with David for many years, and this mask was extra special to create.

It is a tribute to David´s mother, and the design has so many messages. The bird on the side, called Berguv in Swedish, is also Davids second last name which he has from his mom. In the background you also find Lapporten, a famous valley in Northern Sweden. And there are a lot more details all over which are all parts of Rautio´s story, details is just what I love painting.

I love the challenge to create designs in different styles, this is a more free flowing and light design with soft colors.

Everything connects with the cool logo of Luleå and the beautiful jersey. A design that also has some bling-bling, the snow stars come from the Luleå bear logo.

Check it out in the mask gallery and on our Facebook page, or in the DAVEART App.

Thank you for your interest.
