Songs of the Nordic Sea 1962. Vintage Mixed Media Paintings by O. Strömblad.

Two atmospheric mixed-media seascapes by Swedish artist O. Strömblad, both dated 1962.

These mid-century works capture the drama and poetry of the Nordic coast, rolling waves, shifting skies, and that luminous tension between sea and weather. One painting shows a solitary sailboat navigating foaming waters beneath a sky streaked with warm sunset tones; the other centres on powerful, cresting waves as seabirds glide low across the storm-lit horizon.

Strömblad’s layered technique gives the surfaces a vivid, almost tactile movement, making the ocean feel alive and ever-changing. A beautifully balanced pair that distills the mood and light of Scandinavian seascapes in the early 1960s.

Great vintage condition.
