Toivo Koivisto is an artist. 22 works are cataloged here, principally at Helsinki City Museum.

Toivo Koivisto carried a paintbrush like others carry groceries—every errand turned into a side project. He spent years turning Helsinki’s electrical boxes into tiny murals, one crossroads at a time, often with neighbors watching. His playful drawings hide in plain sight on Kalervonkatu and Sampsantie, so you’ll spot them while waiting for the bus. Gallery Tiles keeps one of those box-fronts ready to tap—look for the one near Käpyläntie and Koskelantie painted with Mira Mallius.
