Original artwork description:

The painting depicts a quiet corner of the forest, where the main action unfolds in the interplay of light and shadow. Warm sunlight filters through the thick canopy of trees, falling gently onto the ground in wide patches and creating a sense of flicker and living movement.

The dark tree trunks form a contrasting vertical “frame,” making the light appear even brighter. Sunlit highlights shimmer on the leaves—yellowish brushstrokes convey their vibration and the slight sway of branches in the wind. On the forest floor, shadows lie in torn, dynamic shapes: in some places deep and cool, in others thin and transparent, revealing the texture of the ground.

In the distance, a sunlit patch of water is visible—it adds another layer to the play of light, reflecting the sky and enhancing the transparency of the air. Overall, the painting captures a morning or daytime atmosphere, when the shadows are still long and the sunlit spots bright and vivid.

The artwork seems to invite the viewer into the forest’s cool shade, where light lives its own life, constantly shifting and bringing the space to life.
