About the artwork

The painting with the Latin title "Lingua Luminis" (Language of Light) reveals a breathtaking scene that captures the poetry of light and nature in its full glory. The title itself refers accordingly to the central role of light in this work of art.

The warm evening light bursting from behind the purple clouds creates a magical atmosphere that bathes the entire scene in a soft glow. The reflection of the light on the calm water surface in vivid yellow-orange intensifies the fascination of the moment.

The islands, resting in a harmonious arrangement of still orange waters, lead the viewer's gaze towards the horizon. The purple and orange hues there create a picturesque complement to the surrounding evening atmosphere and emphasise the beauty of this freely invented scene.

The mudflats stretching to the horizon give the scene the dimension of vastness and space. The reflection of the sky and clouds on the calm sea surface enhances the feeling of peace and serenity.

The play of colours in the wall of clouds adds a deep vibrancy to this scene and gives it a certain mystical quality. The oceanic panorama and the magical reflections immerse the viewer in a world of light and poetry.

Overall, "Lingua Luminis" presents an enchanting connection between nature and light. It reminds the viewer how light can transform and enchant nature, and how nature itself speaks the language of light. It is a visual tribute to the beauty of our planet and man's tireless fascination with the play of light and nature.
