About the piece
Painted in 1914, this self-portrait by Finnish Expressionist Tyko Sallinen is a masterclass in emotional intensity. The subject's direct gaze is framed by a background of saturated ultramarine blue, while the face and shirt are rendered in a flurry of cool whites, greens, and warm ochres, capturing the raw energy of the Nordic avant-garde.
