Original artwork description:

I wanted to capture the tender, dreamlike atmosphere of a garden at dusk—a moment where floral scents, soft light, and evening hush converge. I imagined a cozy garden corner with a lace-covered table, fine teaware, and sweets. Warm lanterns hang above, casting a gentle glow through foliage and blooms. It’s a fleeting pause before night fully arrives—a feeling of holding onto light just a moment longer.

I combined impasto with pointillism to convey light transitions, especially in the lanterns and flowers. By playing with contrast and vibrant tones, I created an atmosphere that’s both magical and grounded. I used splatter techniques to mimic floating dusk particles, adding depth and poetic motion to the scene.
