40x40 cm ~ Painting, Oil
Evening is approaching. The hot day is gradually fading. You come to the river bank, sit down on a still warm stone and watch the setting sun, taking away the cares of the day. Silence and peace are spreading around, even the singing of birds is not heard. Only the trees on the other bank are talking about some-thing, barely swaying their branches. Peace penetrates you too. You have rested and can return home. Tomorrow is a new day. The painting carries a mood of peace, the atmosphere of which will be created in the bedroom.
This image depicts a serene lakeside scene at sunset, where warm hues of orange, red, and yellow dom-inate the canvas. The sun hangs low in the sky, its glowing orb radiating a soft golden light that reflects gently on the calm water below. The reflection creates a mirror-like effect, blending seamlessly with the surrounding colors, evoking a deep sense of tranquility and warmth.
On the left side, a small grove of trees stands silhouetted against the vivid sky. Their forms are dark yet slightly detailed, with one tree notably adorned with hints of pink or red foliage, which adds an artistic pop of color contrasting with the more subdued browns and greys of the other trees.
The right side of the image shows a rocky shore, bathed in the warm sunlight. It anchors the composi-tion, balancing the tree silhouette and completing the natural frame of the lake.
Symbolically, sunsets and sunrises often represent transitions, new beginnings, or the passage of time, conveying a moment frozen between darkness and light. The gentle, harmonious colors and the still wa-ter enhance a mood of peaceful contemplation, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of nature and the cycles of the day. Artistically, the blending of warm tones and soft brushwork creates an impressionistic effect, prioritizing atmosphere and emotion over exact detail.
