작품 상세

This poetic landscape depicting trees captures the changing effects of light on nature, using a rich palette consisting of complementary colours. The painting is executed with refined strokes and impasto textures resulting in subtle tonalities. Vertical trees and horizontals of the ground create visual interest and depth in the composition, showing an appreciation of nature.
