This oil painting depicts a lone tree standing on a hilltop beneath a breathtaking night sky. Bathed in the warm glow of the rising sun, the tree stands as a beacon of resilience and strength against the vastness of space. The theme explores the journey of life, the passage of time, and the enduring power of nature.
I have always been fascinated by the contrast between the earthly and the celestial. One evening while hiking, I saw a lone tree silhouetted against a vibrant sunset and a sky full of stars. The scene was both humbling and awe-inspiring, and it sparked the idea for this painting. I wanted to capture the feeling of standing on the threshold of something vast and mysterious, with the tree representing a steadfast guide along life’s journey. The painting also reflects my deep respect for nature and its ability to endure and thrive in the face of adversity.
