About "Golden flames, soft lights"

About the artwork

Four burning candles stand close together at the bottom of the picture and form the warm centre of an atmospheric Christmas composition. The flames flicker gently, each candle has a slightly different height and its own golden glow, creating lively variation. Wax beads run down the sides of the candles and catch the light, which dances in delicate reflections on the surface. In the background, a blurred bokeh of vivid but harmoniously balanced lights unfolds - red, green, gold and cool blue merge into soft, round spots that create depth and a festive atmosphere without distracting from the foreground. The composition deliberately leaves free space above and in the centre to easily insert typographic elements or greetings; this area remains softly and discreetly lit so that lettering appears clearly legible. The lighting is warm and accentuated at the sides: soft shadows give the candle bodies volume, while a gossamer sheen emphasises the edges of the flames. Small, almost invisible glitter particles in the air lend the picture additional magic and look like scattered stars. The overall aesthetic balances intimacy and festivity - ideal for cards, banners or digital greetings. The colour harmony and composition were chosen so that both elegant serif typography and modern sans-serif fonts in different colours work. Overall, the motif conveys a sense of security, warmth and the quiet anticipation of the Christmas season.
