'Huge boost'
Mr Mattsson said he felt "very privileged" to have won such an "amazing talent project".
"The publicity has already given me a huge boost - just days after I was announced a winner, I had a double-page spread in The Metro, which really shows the scale of this project and the potential benefits involved," he said.
His creations will be on show until the end of February.
