Aurinko nousee meren yllä is an unspecified by Juho Mäkelä, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a rough, dark coastline at the bottom with jagged rocks and patches of yellow and brown. Above it, the water is calm but has quick, brushy strokes in blue and white. The sky is pale green and yellow, blending into a soft glow near the horizon. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the artist hurried or worked quickly. The colors feel simple but bold, especially the contrast between the dark rocks and the bright sky. If you like this style, check out impasto—it’s when paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the texture.
Juho Mäkelä made metalworks and paintings that capture quiet moments under wide skies.
