This painting is a digital oil painting creation, based on a photograph I took myself in the beautiful nature reserve of the Brabantse Wal in Ossendrecht. Using digital techniques, I tried to preserve the serene atmosphere of the landscape: the soft morning light over the water, the quiet movement of the reeds in the foreground and the vast horizon where nature and silence merge.
Brabantse Wal is known for its unique landscape, high biodiversity and characteristic transition between sandy and clay soils. This work aims to highlight the peace, space and natural beauty of this area. The reflection of the light on the water and the warm hues of the surroundings symbolise the harmony between man and nature, which is still clearly present in this area.
