A warm, almost otherworldly colour palette fills this volcanic landscape in Lanzarote. In the foreground, loose, jagged lava rocks lie scattered across the dry earth - sharp, black-brown and porous, like remnants of a raging eruption that has now calmed down. Their texture is rough, irregular, shaped by heat and time.
Behind these stones rise the silhouettes of dormant volcanoes. They lie still, massive and present, like sentinels of the landscape. No smoke, no threat - just the suggestion of what once was.
The sky is filled with clouds that catch and distort the light. Pink, red and blue mix in streaks and smudges, as if the sky itself has begun to paint. This is not a typical sunset; the light feels diffuse, soft yet intense. The colours of sky and stone interact - warm and cool, vivid and still.
The picture breathes silence, but not emptiness. Everything lives on - in colour, in form, in memory of fire.
A landscape that asks not to be understood, but to be experienced: intense, slow and irrevocably earthy.
