excursion (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Natalia Johansson

The composition shows a cycling trip around an oval-shaped lake, where movement is an important part of the image. The cyclist is travelling along the bike path, creating a strong sense of speed, energy, and freedom. The direction of the cyclist leads the viewer’s eye through the landscape and makes the image feel lively and dynamic. The bike path also contributes to the sense of movement because it follows the curved shape of the lake and creates a flowing line through the composition.

The lake acts as the central focal point, with the blue water creating a calm area that contrasts with the cyclist’s movement. Green trees, grass, and plants surround the lake and frame the landscape, giving the image a natural and refreshing atmosphere. White elements, such as the bike path, clothing, or other details, create contrast with the blue and green colours. The combination of blue, white, and green gives the composition a fresh and harmonious Nordic feeling, while the cyclist’s movement adds energy and dynamism. Overall, the image communicates a feeling of freedom, activity, and enjoyment of nature.
