About this work

The painting shows a scene of Sörnäinen, a place in Finland. It's an oil on cardboard work, which is a bit unusual. The artist used this technique to create a unique look. This painting is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of everyday life. The artist's choice of subject and medium is notable, as it's not typical of large-scale paintings. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: sfumato.
