Misty February Day

"Disig Februardag" – 1998

Watercolour on paper
Signed: Sigurd Bergmann
Medium: Watercolour wash with graphite underdrawing on cold-pressed paper

In Disig Februardag, Sigurd Bergmann masterfully captures a moment where time seems to hold its breath. Painted in 1998, this watercolour evokes the hushed stillness of a misty February day, where snow and air become indistinguishable, and the world fades into gradients of cold blue and soft grey.

The near-monochromatic palette is broken only by a faint red sun trying to pierce the veil of fog — a subtle but emotional focal point that speaks to the artist’s deep sensitivity to winter’s quiet drama. The trees are silhouettes, ghostlike on the horizon, while a path or river runs like a whisper through the frozen forest.

This is one of Sigurd’s more atmospheric and minimalist pieces, leaning into mood rather than detail. The restraint in the composition draws the viewer inward — it’s meditative, nostalgic, and full of quiet poetry.

Perfect for a space that invites calm and reflection.
