Original artwork description:

This is an ethereal abstract painting inspired by the fleeting moments at sunset when the sea and sky dissolve into one endless canvas. It captures that delicate transition between day and night, where the light softens, colours scatter, and the horizon itself seems to vanish. The surface shimmers with soft washes of pale blue and white, layered with translucent textures that echo the movement of clouds and the shifting skin of water. Across this field of calm, flecks of sunset - crimson, ochre, and deep gold emerge like sparks of light at the edge of clouds or ripples of fire reflected across the sea. These subtle, glowing marks suggest the embers of sunset breaking apart the fading light, scattering across the water’s surface before dissolving into dusk. Simply one my the most magical times of the day. Created with a mix of palette knife gestures and fine textural layering, the painting holds both stillness and motion. Its atmosphere is meditative, yet alive with the quiet drama of colour meeting light. Sold either stretched on deep edge canvas in the UK only or for all other destinations it will be rolled and shipped in a tube. A timeless, luminous piece that brings the poetry of nature into contemporary abstraction - perfect for collectors drawn to light-filled works with a sense of atmosphere and depth.
