Original artwork description:

This abstract landscape, titled Highlands II, captures the raw beauty and mystique of Iceland’s terrain. Painted with oil on a 120x100 cm canvas, the piece flows with an almost ethereal quality, combining vibrant, dreamlike colors with a dynamic sense of movement. A bold, teal river or glacial stream meanders through the dark, rugged land, illuminated with hints of icy blue that drip and blend organically, suggesting the fluidity of water carving through stone over millennia.

The landforms rise in the background, their shadowy, layered textures reminiscent of distant volcanic hills under a pale, overcast sky. A striking turquoise circle hovers on the horizon, possibly symbolizing a foreign sun or moon, adding an otherworldly dimension to the scene. The surrounding fields of green and yellow hues evoke Iceland's surreal, volcanic landscapes blanketed in moss and flora, contrasted sharply with dark, basalt-like forms.

The overall composition is a balance of flowing curves and jagged edges, showcasing the painter’s skill in using controlled randomness to evoke both tranquility and tension. Through its rich textures and vibrant palette, Highlands II invites the viewer to explore an unfamiliar yet timeless world, embodying the wild spirit of Iceland.

It has painted sides, no frame needed, ready to hang.
