About the artwork

The photo shows a breathtaking snow-covered winter landscape at the moment of sunset, in which cold and glowing colours meet in impressive harmony. Vast fields and rolling hills are hidden under a flawless blanket of snow, absorbing the slanting light of the setting sun and transforming it into golden, pink and lavender hues. Individual groups of trees and flattened hedges draw dark, graphic silhouettes on the bright white, their branches carrying heavy loads of powdery snow. On the horizon, the evening light breaks through thin layers of cloud; streaks of orange and coral merge with cool indigo as the sky slowly fades into twilight. A narrow, partly drifting path runs through the scene and offers the eye a guide into the depths of the picture - it seems like a silent invitation to enter the winter world. Fine frost covers the grasses and fences, sparkling crystals cast punctual reflections of light, lending the composition a subtle glamour. The air is clear and cutting; in the distance, a gossamer mist lies in the hollows and softens the contours, giving the landscape an almost magical softness. The mood is both calm and uplifting: the warm, last light of day promises security, while the clear cold of winter commands respect and silence. Overall, the picture captures the poetic ambivalence of winter - austere beauty and tender transience in a single, quiet moment.
