This oil painting cardboard, titled "Yellow sunset behind the trees", the artist employs an expressive impasto technique, layering thick strokes of paint to create depth, movement, and a sense of tangible texture. At the heart of the composition, towering trees stretch upwards, their trunks and branches forming a natural barrier between the viewer and the setting sun. The foliage is painted in a mixture of deep greens, blues, and purples, with hints of fiery orange and red interspersed, reflecting the warm light filtering through the dense canopy. The interplay of warm and cool tones gives the trees a sense of volume and vibrancy, as if they are swaying gently in the evening breeze. The background sky is an explosion of warm yellows, golds, and soft oranges, radiating light that appears to seep through every gap in the tree line. The textured strokes create an almost flickering effect, mimicking the last intense moments of sunlight before dusk fully descends. These warm hues contrast dramatically with the cooler tones of the forest floor, heightening the overall visual impact. In the foreground, the ground is covered in a rich carpet of purples and violets, possibly depicting shadows cast by the trees as the sun lowers beyond the horizon. Small figures appear scattered throughout, rendered with bold yet indistinct strokes, suggesting people walking or gathering in the fading light. Their presence adds a sense of scale and narrative, evoking a tranquil, reflective moment as they witness the beauty of the natural world. The brushwork throughout the painting is vigorous and expressive, capturing not only the scene but the very sensation of the setting sun—its warmth, its intensity, and its fleeting beauty. The contrast between the luminous sky and the shadowy ground creates a striking balance, inviting the viewer to experience the moment of transition between day and night. The painting resonates with an atmosphere of serenity and wonder, portraying a familiar yet endlessly captivating spectacle of nature. The artist masterfully conveys the feeling of a sunset’s final embrace, where the world is momentarily bathed in golden light before giving way to twilight.
