Valkvæegga is a mountain ridge on the island of Godøya, in Giske municipality just outside Ålesund, where Ørnulf Opdahl has lived and worked since the early 1970s. The sea and coastal landscape of Sunnmøre have been a constant source of inspiration throughout his artistic career. This painting captures the very essence of that landscape: a rugged, weather-beaten mountain ridge rising from the sea, meeting the ever-changing light of the Nordic sky.
