About the artwork

This work unfolds like a visual crescendo of light, colour and irrepressible expressiveness. The masses of colour burst across the canvas in a thick, impasto style, forming a firework display that translates the moment of the turning point - the fleeting transition between the past and the future - into pure painting. The explosion of colour, which spreads across the pictorial space in all the nuances of the rainbow, seems not only to light up the night sky, but also to set it in motion: Sparks dance, light trails swirl, the air itself seems to pulsate.

In front of this dynamic spectacle lies a deep dark, almost velvety background of nocturnal blue tones, which in places open up to slightly lighter shades - like breaths of night. In the lower part of the picture, the hint of a water surface shimmers, absorbing the colourful spectacle and throwing it back in vibrating reflections. This reflection lends the work a second level of movement, a quiet echo of the celestial turmoil.

The horizon, only delicately sketched, lights up in a finely placed, lighter-coloured stripe. Slender tails rise up from it, pointing to the firing points of the rockets launched - traces of human longing for light, new beginnings and transformation. In this way, the fireworks can be experienced not only as a feast for the senses, but also as a poetic moment between darkness and hope, between the end and the promising beginning.
