About the artwork

A classic Christmas atmosphere unfolds in the warm interior: a magnificently decorated Christmas tree stands slightly to one side, its densely leafy branches bearing a mixture of shiny baubles, handmade pendants and discreet fairy lights that flicker gently in a warm yellow colour. Under the tree lies a carpet of gift packages in various sizes; carefully wrapped parcels in matt kraft paper, glittering wrapping paper and rich, colour-coordinated ribbons form a harmonious ensemble. Some bows are intricately tied, others are decorated with natural accents such as dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks or small fir branches, giving the arrangement a handcrafted, personal touch. Nearby, a fireplace provides cosy warmth: the fire crackles softly, flickering flames cast dancing reflections of light on the tree and presents, while the warm glow bathes the room in golden tones. On the mantelpiece are family photos in simple frames, candles and perhaps a small garland to draw the eye upwards. Textures play an important role - soft woollen cushions on the sofa, a coarsely knitted plaid, polished wood and metallic ornamental accents create contrast and depth. The overall composition is lovingly arranged, inviting and intimate: a place to meet, relax and open presents together. Small details such as a half-opened envelope with handwriting or a tea-boiling steam complete the cosy, expectant atmosphere of the festive season.
