Description
"In La Sauna - 1925" by Pekka Halonen is a work that evokes the essence of Finnish culture in a deeply moving and authentic way. By entering into the contemplation of this painting, one cannot fail to notice the thorough attention they have given to the recreation of the experience of the sauna, a central element in everyday life in Finland.
In this composition, Halonen opts for a palette of warm and terrible colors that evoke the timelessness and rusticity of the environment. The tones of brown, ocher and yellow nuances dominate the scene, giving a feeling of warmth and well -being. These colors not only reflect the physical atmosphere of the sauna, but also transmit the emotions of peace and rest that are associated with this cultural practice.
The human figure in this work is remarkably schematic, and more than focusing on anatomical details, Halonen seeks to capture the spiritual essence of the moment. We observe two characters, possibly a mother and her son, immersed in the intimacy of the sauna. The child's relaxed position in his mother's arms suggests a deep bond and a sense of safety and protection. This scene, although simple, is loaded with emotional meaning and transcends the mere act of sharing a physical space, suggesting a transmission of intergenerational customs and values.
The lighting of the paint is subtle, predominantly the soft shadows that reveal an atmosphere of gloom. This use of light and shadows not only increases the sensation of hilling and recollection, but it is also a technical trick that Halonen uses to emphasize the introspective atmosphere of the interior of the sauna. This expert light of light is a recurring resource in many of the painter's works, demonstrating his ability to create a specific and emotional space through simple credits of clarity and shadow.
Pekka Halonen, throughout his career, has been recognized for his faithful representations of Finnish life and the connection of the human being with nature and traditions. Formed at the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts and subsequently influenced by his experience in Paris, Halonen developed a characteristic style that combines realism with a poetic interpretation of everyday life. His fascination with rural scenes and ancestral practices are a tribute to his deep love for his homeland and culture.
