"Day After Tomorrow" continues Pietilä's dramatic interpretation of the female nude. The figure in the painting is seated naked against a deep red background, her face unseen, with hair colored like fire. Her skin tone resembles porcelain white, with cool blue light seeping through the edges, creating a stark contrast with the background. The image is both sensual and filled with a sense of distance—like a void moment after passion has faded, or the suspension before desire is about to arise. This perspective preserves privacy while stimulating the viewer's imagination, leaving one unable to confirm whether it represents the aftermath of climax or the onset of solitude.
