Mountain

This painting presents a bold perspective of a mountain seen across the expanse of a serene lake, deliberately breaking the conventional rule of thirds by placing the horizon line squarely in the middle of the composition. This choice emphasizes the vastness and rawness of the surrounding landscape. The painting style is rugged and unrefined, further accentuating the wild, untamed nature of the scene. A striking contrast is created between the dominating oxide red and a blend of purple blues and greys, partitioning the canvas into distinct planes. This interplay of colors and textures pulls the scene back from the brink of total abstraction, maintaining a grasp on the recognizability of the natural landscape, yet imbuing it with a sense of beauty.
