Johannes Nevala, born 1966 in Finland, is an artist who paints birds, especially on the seashore where he captures the birds in oils, watercolors and other techniques. His art is inspired by the Nordic light and the artists von Wright, Bruno Liljefors, Gunnar Brusewitz and Lars Jonsson, who specialized in nature and birds.

editNevala debuted in 1993 with a watercolor exhibition on Gotland.[1] In 1998, Nevala showed an exhibition, Birds in Light, at Galleri Ridelius in Visby.[2] This exhibition, which included both watercolors and oil paintings,[3] shaped his artistry since then. Nevala has participated in several international exhibitions.
