Metsikkökuvia is a Finnish term that translates to "forest pictures" or "pictures of the forest." It refers to artworks, photographs, or any visual representations that depict forest landscapes. These depictions can range widely in style and subject matter, from realistic portrayals of specific forest environments to more abstract or stylized interpretations of trees, foliage, and the overall atmosphere of a woodland.

The subject of metsikkökuvia often captures the unique qualities of Finnish forests, such as their dense coniferous trees, the presence of mosses and lichens, and the play of light filtering through the canopy. Artists and photographers may focus on seasonal changes, the wildlife that inhabits these spaces, or the emotional and spiritual resonance that forests can evoke.

Historically, the depiction of nature, including forests, has been a significant theme in Finnish art, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world. Metsikkökuvia can be found in various art forms, including landscape painting, photography exhibitions, and even in design and illustration.
