Built up through layered oil glazes on panel, Sunrise evokes a humid, palpable forest atmosphere. Twisting roots and entwining vines guide the viewer’s gaze toward the central water, where a dawn-like radiance emerges from the depths—a liminal space between reality and illusion.

The contrast between warm gold and cool blue tones suggests the retreat of darkness and the birth of light, transforming the natural landscape into a contemplative allegory of time, memory, and rebirth.
