Bold, strong and dauntless, this piece is remindful of the strong, cool colours of the sky and its layers. With big, purposeful and insistent brush strokes, he incorporates his thoughts and emotions into his paintings. Although the artist goes beyond the rules of the physical, representational and figurative manifestations of solid forms and figures, he creates a stunning piece that evokes from the viewers a strong admiration of nature and landscape and the implications that come with it. Similar to his previous works, Silhouette on a Blue Sky II, 2016, this work embodies a warmer palate with silhouette of a building standing proud amid the evening sky.
