Mosaic piece in Serlachius Museum Art Sauna, Mänttä, Finland
Serlachius Museum Art Sauna is a new architectonic perspective into the concept of Finnish sauna, Art Sauna stands on the shore of Serlachius Museum Gösta. The name Art Sauna is appropriate for this architecturally unique sauna building which houses both art and design.
After the summer sauna, people often sit and look at the lake surface. From the embrace of steam, we move into the embrace of nature. In this mosaic the pine trees gilded by the evening sun are reflected on the rippling surface of the water. A source of inspiration has also been Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s small painting “Landscape from Kuhmo” from 1890, which is part of the museum’s collections.
