Original artwork description:

Autumn turns the sound down to a whisper. Apartment windows fade into muted thoughts — and suddenly, through a nearly monochrome drizzle, a warm burst of orange foliage breaks through. This is the moment when the city briefly stops being grey and becomes alive. Before the war — after the war — in between — there is always this tiny frame of reality: wet trees, silent façades, and a very warm colour that refuses to disappear.

Soft pastel on toned paper. This material is intentional: it gives the feeling of dissolved air and a natural “rain veil” that a brush cannot achieve as organically. The visible strokes are part of the language — not an unfinished surface.

This artwork is about a quiet city in the rain — something many people know almost physically. It works both as an emotional memory and as a colour accent of warmth in a minimalist interior — especially in spaces with concrete, white and graphite tones.
