Description
Just after Sunset. A deep reverence for nature emanates from this piece. The artist’s travels have fostered an intense admiration for the baobab, and it shows in every stroke. The composition is built around the tree’s magnificent silhouette, its bare branches reaching like veins into a softly glowing sky. The use of charcoal creates a beautiful, atmospheric haze, that liminal space between day and night filled with a palpable magic.
The tonal gradations are subtle yet powerful, moving from the soft, diffused light on the horizon to the deep, rich blacks of the tree’s solid trunk. This play of light and shadow is not just visually stunning, it’s emotionally resonant, evoking feelings of awe and timelessness. The baobab stands not just as a tree, but as an icon of resilience, a silent keeper of stories against the vast, dramatic canvas of the African twilight.
