Dunes is a poignant representation of a dune landscape near the southern border of Spain, close to Portugal. This painting captures the essence of a beach's allure at dusk, creating a sense of longing for the sandy shores. The image transitions into the extraordinary hues of a setting sun, casting a colder light over the scene. This foreground is rendered in layers of broad, searching strokes as if the artist were navigating a path forward. The composition is beautifully framed by long grasses on the left, providing a natural enclosure, while to the right, a stony pathway serves as an abstract entrance to this scene. The beckoning beachline draws the viewer's eye deeper into the image, inviting them to experience the serene yet dynamic transition from day to night at the beach.
