About the artwork

The sunset by the sea paints an impressive spectacle of light, colour and movement, highlighting the cliffs in dramatic beauty. On the horizon, the sun slowly lowers, its fireball sending out radiant glow in warm orange and red tones, which spread across the water and transform the ocean into liquid gold. The steep cliffs rise abruptly from the sea, their rock faces showing layers of grey, brown and rust, tanned by the weather and smoothed by the salt. Small plant cushions gather in the cracks and protrusions, appearing dark green at dusk and lending life to the stone.

The surf crashes against the rock bases with white spray, while fine mist hangs in the air and breaks the light. Reflections of the sun draw bright paths across the surface of the water, flickering with each crash of the waves. The sky is a painting of pastel and fire: deep purple tones fade into bright magenta, while delicate shades of dusky pink and peach emphasise the clouds. Seagulls occasionally make their rounds and add quiet movement to the scene.

On a nearby ledge stands perhaps a single, wind-bent beech tree or an old fence, a silent witness to the transience of this moment. The air smells of salt and seaweed, infused with cool moisture. This image conveys both longing and tranquillity: the power of nature meets tender colours, and the moment between day and night invites us to pause, to dream and to be in silent awe of the vastness of the sea.
