The art collection of the airport is supplemented with Mauri Favén (1920–2006), a Finnish painter and professor, impressive mural "Vaihtuvat maisemat" (Change of scenery).

This is an excellent piece of art at Helsinki Airport because of its travel-related theme and the philosophy of Favén. A key idea of his was to make the environment enjoyable to others.

Painted on a canvas with acrylic colours, the piece is 16 metres long and 3.5 metres high. The owner is Art Merita (Merita Foundation), which has deposited it to Finavia.
