„Whispers of the Shadows“
The shadows hidden between ancient trees,
The symbols stand and seem to dream
Of times long past.
They linger forever in our souls,
In a language only our hearts understand.
The ancestors call, they warn us clearly,
So let us not be blind and follow the signs.
The knowledge we receive from the universe
Are the eternal laws that never fade.
Interpretation
In this work I allow a mystical aura to shine. I convey the mysterious secret. The ancient olive trees are silent yet living witnesses of a long-lost time. Their gnarled branches and dark shadows add depth and a vibrant unrest to my work. The symbols, appearing to be painted on the bark and engraved on the monoliths, form a direct connection to ancient rituals and eternal, universal mysteries, deeply rooted in the ground. They speak of a lost language, primal human instincts, and knowledge understood only by the initiated. The image invites the viewer to venture into the darkness, to discover the invisible—a journey into their own past and a connection to the ancestors.
Art Critique
This work presents a harmonious composition that uses darkness as a stylistic device to highlight the mysterious past. The color palette is sensitively chosen: dark violet and brown tones contrast with the lighter elements of the symbols, which are deliberately set in warm reds and whites to create an almost magical atmosphere. The light accents guide the eye through the composition, beginning with the central engraved symbols, moving across the olive tree, and flowing along the lines of the shadows. The depth of the image is achieved through the layering of light and darkness, creating a play between reality and illusion. The embedded symbols evoke a kind of secret script, reminiscent of ancient rituals. Here, the artwork becomes a bridge between nature, mythology, creativity, and human expression.
