The artwork titled “Sea,” created by Tove Jansson in 1962, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism art movement and falls within the marina genre.
The artwork exudes a tempestuous and dramatic atmosphere, rendered through vigorous brush strokes and a rich, textured palette. Dominated by deep blues and greens, it depicts the ocean’s restless surface, evoking a sense of both beauty and foreboding. Sharp contrasts and dynamic lines create an impression of turbulent waves crashing against each other under a dark, brooding sky. Jansson’s use of abstract expressionist techniques captures the raw, untamed essence of the sea, bypassing representational detail to evoke the emotional tumult and power of the natural scene.
