October Day in Vidda

Oktoberdag på Vidda (2010)

Pastel on paper
Sigurd Bergmann

In Oktoberdag på Vidda, Sigurd Bergmann captures the quiet radiance of an autumn day high in the Norwegian mountains. A gentle haze floats over the horizon, while the distant ridgeline glows with the deep ultramarine of a frost-kissed October sky. Below, the land is richly carpeted in fiery reds, earthy browns, and fading greens — the colors of change, painted with Sigurd’s unmistakable pastel touch.

There’s something cinematic in the composition: the broad, panoramic sweep of the land, the moody sky shifting overhead, the low-flying birds in the distance — all building a sense of openness, introspection, and belonging.

This is not just a view of nature — it's a felt moment on the edge of a season.
