About the artwork

As the day draws to a close and the sun begins to draw its last arc over the horizon, the Namibian desert awakens to a play of colours that can hardly be put into words. This picture, taken near the Dune Star Lodge, shows a scene full of contrasts and magic: fiery glowing sand, long shadows and a sky that carries all the nuances between light and dark, from gold to deep blue.

The dunes are outlined in fine lines - as if painted by the wind itself. The tracks in the sand tell stories: of heat, of movement, of past lives. The silhouette of a simple hut stands out in the background, seemingly alone in this endless landscape. But it is not abandoned - it is present. Like a resting observer in the changing day.

Namibia is a land of contrasts. Rugged, bright, dry during the day - gentle, colourful, meditative in the evening. In this light, the landscape seems almost soft. The colours flow - red, orange, ochre, violet. Every centimetre of this savannah seems to glow. It is a moment of grounding, a moment of contemplation.

This shot thrives on the play of light, shadow and perspective. The clear nature photography combines with the depth of the sunlight to create an image that not only shows, but also tells. The evening light bathes everything in a warmth that is intangible - but tangible.

As a mural, this motif is ideal for living rooms, therapy rooms, hotels, yoga studios, libraries or places of retreat. It invites you to dream, to linger, to breathe consciously.
