About the artwork

The oil painting "At the Sea of Light" reveals an impressive landscape interspersed with a warm colour palette in shades of orange and green. This colour scheme evokes the fascinating atmosphere of summer evenings when the sun gradually sets, scattering its rays over the vast summery land.

The sun's rays in this painting are striking and almost look like artificial spotlights that have been carefully placed, similar to the spotlights in a play. These intense rays of light penetrate the scene and create a sense of brightness, seeming to emanate from a point in the clouds. This apparent source of light deliberately provides a delightful contrast to the diffuse scattered light and draws the viewer's attention.

The scene presents a picturesque lighthouse on a hill at the edge of a valley. A viewing platform offers a breathtaking view of the surroundings. A beam of light actually emanating from the lighthouse adds a special drama to the scene and fits perfectly with the painting's title.

The landscape is characterised by majestic mountains, lush trees and a picturesque riverbed. The rolling hills and the natural beauty of the surroundings are depicted in warm colours that emphasise the harmonious relationship between man and nature.

"In Sea of Light" invites the viewer to enjoy the beauty of nature and the peaceful evening atmosphere. It reminds us how light can transform our surroundings and how moments of peace and wonder in nature can fill our souls. This painting captures the magic of a summer evening and the enchantments of twilight, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in this warm and inviting world.
