About the artwork

An old-fashioned cart, adorned with three massive tree trunks, stands motionless as a reminder of a bygone era. Its wooden wheels, worn by travelling along untracked roads, breathe the breath of centuries of labour. In the distance, like a shadow from the past, Slangenburg Castle rises, shrouded in a soft mist of coppery sepia tones. The castle, with its stately silhouette, seems to whisper about knights and squires, about the whisper of the wind that has wandered its corridors for centuries.

Torrentius' picture is steeped in melancholy, a scene that hovers between reality and memory. The shades of copper and old brown wrap the image in a warm, almost palpable nostalgia. The light is soft and diffuse, as if the sun filters its rays through a veil of time. The tree trunks on the cart seem not just wood, but bearers of stories-of forests gone, of workers who gave their strength to the land, of a time when everything breathed slower.

Torrentius' vision:
With this work, Torrentius has not simply captured a scene, but bridged the gap between then and now. The cart, with its rough simplicity, contrasts with the refinement of the castle, and yet they belong together-two echoes from an era that is slowly fading away. The choice of the sepia tint is no accident; it is an invitation to see the picture not as a snapshot, but as a gateway to an era when the world had a different cadence. "The Time Hunter" captures not only an image, but also a feeling-a gentle wistfulness for a century when silence still sounded like a song.
