"Pilot" (Finnish: "Luotsi") is a painting by the Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg, created in 1899. This artwork is one of Simberg's early works and showcases his affinity for mystical and symbolic themes, which would become hallmarks of his artistic career. The painting depicts a boatman, or pilot, guiding a vessel through what appears to be a treacherous passage, a motif that can be interpreted as a metaphor for guidance and safe passage through the uncertainties of life.

The composition of "Pilot" is characterized by a somber palette and a sense of stillness, which is typical of Simberg's style. The artist's use of light and shadow contributes to the painting's enigmatic atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the deeper meanings behind the image. Simberg's work often explores themes of death, the supernatural, and the human condition, and "Pilot" is no exception, as it can be seen as an exploration of the journey between life and death, or as a representation of existential guidance.

Hugo Simberg (1873–1917) was a prominent figure in Finnish art at the turn of the 20th century and was associated with the symbolist movement. His work is known for its dreamlike quality and its exploration of themes that lie beyond the visible world. "Pilot" is held in high regard among Simberg's oeuvre and is considered an important piece that reflects the artist's early exploration of symbolism and his developing aesthetic.

The painting is part of the collection of the Ateneum, the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, which houses many of Simberg's most significant works. "Pilot" continues to be studied and appreciated for its technical mastery and its rich symbolic content, offering insight into the artist's inner world and the cultural context of Finland at the end of the 19th century.
