Fire Night

When I look at Fire Night, I see the moment when nature and emotion interlock. I wanted to capture a forest that simultaneously burns and lives – a place where heat, light and mute resistance struggle with each other. The glowing orange, red and yellow tones rise like flames along the slender, dark tree trunks and make the forest appear as if ignited from within.

The moon, large and milky shimmering, hangs like a silent counterforce over the scene. It brings a cool, almost detached calm into the flickering play of colors and creates a moment of balance between warmth and distance. The structures of the bark and the nervous lines of the branches emerged in a very intuitive painting process – almost as if the forest itself had decided what form it takes.

For me, Fire Night is a painting about transformation: about the old that glows away, and the new that already waits in concealment. It is a forest in transition – vulnerable, powerful and full of movement.
