About the artwork

The photograph shows a breathtaking snow-covered winter landscape at the moment of sunset and combines cool clarity with a warm, almost ephemeral rush of colour. Gently rounded hills lie beneath a flawless blanket of snow, whose surface absorbs the oblique light and reflects it back in delicate layers of gold, apricot and rose red. Isolated groups of trees stand as dark, filigree silhouettes in the picture, their branches heavy with powdery snow and covered in frost, while long shadows draw rhythmic lines across the white. A narrow path, partly blown by the wind, winds its way through the scene and invites the eye to dive deeper into the picture - it seems like a silent invitation to step into the wintry tranquillity. The horizon glows intensely; the setting sun stretches stripes of coral and purple across the sky, fading into cool indigo as the night progresses. A light haze gathers in hollows, softening the contours and lending the landscape a mysterious depth. Small ice crystals on grasses and fences catch the light at certain points and sparkle like scattered stars, adding subtle accents to the composition. The air appears clear and biting, and yet the warm evening light conveys a sense of security. Overall, the photograph captures the poetic tension of winter: harsh cold and tender light, loneliness and quiet promise - a moment that invites you to linger, breathe and marvel.
