Original artwork description:

The painting "Torii. Gate to Eternity" is a combination of nature and traditional Japanese architecture, immersing the viewer in a world of harmony and tranquility.

The central element of the painting is the majestic Torii gate standing on the water. This sacred gate, painted a bright red, symbolizes the transition from the mundane to the spiritual, being the gateway to a sanctuary or place of worship. Its reflection in the calm waters creates the impression of a dual reality, where heaven and earth meet, and the past and present are intertwined.

Mighty pine trees stand around the Torii, their curved branches reaching out to the water, as if protecting and framing the sacred gate. Symbolizing longevity and resilience in Japanese culture, the pine trees add elements of strength and stability to the painting. Their dark green crowns contrast with the bright red of the Torii, creating a picturesque and harmonious image.

The water surrounding the Torii is calm and clear, reflecting the sky and the pine trees. A gentle breeze creates soft ripples on the surface of the water, giving the scene a dynamic and lively feel. This reflection of the natural world and the spiritual symbol of Torii in the water symbolizes purity and infinity, reminding us of the connection between man and nature, the material and the spiritual.

The painting conveys a sense of serenity and peace, inviting the viewer to stop and enjoy the beauty of the moment. This work of art combines elements of Japanese culture and nature, creating a profound and symbolic image that reminds us of the eternal values ​​and beauty that surrounds us everywhere.
