Safari at sunset by Martin Berl

The artwork shows a safari jeep travelling across a vast plain in Africa as the sun sets behind the landscape. The sky is coloured in intense shades of orange and red, which mix with the darker blues and purples of the approaching evening. You can see the jeep from behind, facing the bumpy track, and people sitting in the vehicle, some leaning out of the window to look at the landscape or animals in the distance. The silhouettes of trees, including acacias, stand out on the horizon. What may be overlooked at first glance are small details: a bird flying over the jeep or a gentle cloud of dust swirling up behind the car and floating in the evening air.

The inspiration for this artwork came from a safari trip I took in Kenya. The moment when the sun slowly disappeared on the horizon and bathed nature in golden light was magical. It was a feeling of freedom and adventure, combined with a deep connection to nature. This sunset was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and it left a memory in me that I wanted to capture in this image. The scene also reminds me of books like "Beyond Africa" or films like "Out of Africa", which celebrate the vastness and beauty of the African landscape.
