About the artwork

This panoramic picture unfolds before the viewer's eyes a rough, snow-covered mountain landscape whose peaks and slopes are shrouded in mysterious wafts of mist. The composition is characterised by a subtle interplay between clarity and concealment: where the fog envelops the massif, a state of suspension opens up between the visible and the invisible, between solidity and dissolution.

The colours range in a warm scale from soft orange tones to earthy brown nuances. These tones lend the barren scenery an unexpected warmth, almost as if the landscape were bathed in late afternoon light. A dense coniferous forest of firs and spruces rises up in front of the mountainous body, their slender silhouettes looking like silent sentinels. They give the picture surface a rhythmic verticalisation that both grounds and contrasts the monumental character of the mountains.

The sky opens up in the upper left area. A delicate cloud formation unfolds there and gradually dissolves towards the right - a moment of transition that pervades the entire work. The poetic power of the picture lies in this movement of condensation and dissolution: the permanence of the mountains, the fleeting nature of the mist, the transience of the clouds and the constant green of the forest enter into a silent dialogue.

In this way, the depiction invites us not only to observe the landscape, but also to experience the interplay of the elements - and our own perception of time and space.
