Original artwork description:

“Sunbeam Among Trees” captures the fleeting moment when light pierces through the dense forest canopy, igniting the landscape with shimmering gold. The artist’s signature impasto technique, with thick layers of oil paint applied by palette knife, transforms the canvas into a tactile surface where every stroke vibrates with energy.

The juxtaposition of radiant yellows and greens against deep indigos and violets creates a sense of both harmony and contrast—an allegory of balance between light and shadow. The textured relief of the paint evokes the physical presence of the forest, allowing the viewer not only to see but almost to feel the pulsation of nature.

This work stands as a contemporary interpretation of post-impressionism, blending abstraction with emotional immediacy. A collector’s piece of timeless beauty, it is both a meditative landscape and a celebration of the transformative power of light.
