An atmospheric seascape by Swedish artist Ann-Bull Hallberg-Lindquist, capturing the dramatic meeting of sea and sky. Dark, rolling waves dominate the foreground, painted with energetic, textured brushstrokes that convey movement and depth. Above, heavy clouds part to reveal a glowing band of warm orange and soft yellow light, suggesting either sunrise or sunset.

The contrast between the turbulent sea and the luminous sky creates a strong emotional tension, a recurring theme in Nordic coastal painting. The restrained palette of deep blues, greys, and muted greens is punctuated by the glowing horizon, lending the work both power and quiet poetry.

A finely balanced vintage work, rich in mood and atmosphere, reflecting the Scandinavian fascination with nature’s shifting light and elemental forces.
