Mountain Landscape with Bright Sun (Part 2)

by Manon Van den Berg

This expressive, abstract painting depicts the rugged contours of a dark mountain range beneath a spectacular, layered sky. The deep textures and coarse relief in the paint lend the mountains a tangible and powerful character.
The composition plays with a bold colour contrast: the raw, dark mountain peaks and turquoise slopes are illuminated by the warm, soft glow of a magenta and pink evening or morning sky. Inspired by the silence and mystique of the mountains throughout the changing hours of the day.
The message behind this piece centres on inner strength and steadfastness: the mountains remain steadfast and powerful, whilst the world around them constantly shifts in colour and light.
The combination of bold, dark areas and soft pink hues means this piece fits beautifully in an industrial interior, a ‘Hotel Chique’ bedroom with rich fabrics, or a modern Japandi style centred on natural materials.
Unique diptych:
This painting forms part of a harmonious diptych. It can be hung beautifully as a standalone piece of art, but together with its companion piece, it forms one continuous, larger mountain landscape. Ideal for styling as a set side by side on a larger wall!
