About the artwork

This painting captures the atmosphere of a vast landscape in which ochre yellow tones play a prominent role. The shade of yellow ochre dominates the light and gives the scenery a warm and lively appearance. This yellow conveys a sense of brightness and vitality, while at the same time creating an inviting and peaceful atmosphere. Various elevations stretch across the landscape, covered in a soft shade of brown, creating a natural, harmonious connection between heaven and earth.

The yellow tones in the landscape can carry different meanings. They could symbolise the warmth of the sun, which bathes the whole picture in a golden light and conveys a feeling of optimism and joie de vivre. Yellow can also stand for creativity, intellect and happiness, giving the painting a positive aura and encouraging the viewer to dream and reflect.

Brown tones play an equally important role in the painting. The brown forms the basic structure of the elevations and emphasises the depth and texture of the landscape. In art, brown tones are often associated with down-to-earthness, stability and naturalness. They convey a sense of permanence and tradition and create a connection to the earth and its organic beauty.

The successful combination of yellow ochre and brown tones in this painting creates a balanced harmony between light and shade, warmth and stability. They invite the viewer to immerse themselves in this picturesque landscape, enjoy the tranquillity and be inspired by the natural beauty of the surroundings.
