Winter in Finnmark

€3,000.00

Vinter i Finnmark – 1999

Title Translation: Winter in Finnmark
Medium: Watercolour on textured paper
Signature: Signed “Sigurd Bergmann” (bottom left)

In Vinter i Finnmark, Sigurd Bergmann distills the Arctic winter into a composition that feels both vast and tender. The soft diffusion of colour evokes a low northern sun bathing the snowbound landscape in pastel warmth—pale yellows, dusty pinks, and lilac shadows melt into one another like breath on cold glass.

With minimalist strokes, he renders the suggestion of distant buildings and frozen water, placing us in a place where silence dominates, and nature humbles. Seabirds hover gently in the sky, reminding us of movement in a scene otherwise frozen in stillness.

This piece is a poem in watercolour—an impression more than a narrative—offering viewers a glimpse into the remote, reverent quietude of Norway's far north. The brushwork is delicate, the atmosphere luminous. It’s a testament to Bergmann’s gift for capturing both emotion and landscape with the lightest of hands.
