Lily in Sepia Shadow

$900.00

Lily in Sepia Shadow is a dramatic oil on canvas study that masterfully employs chiaroscuro to emphasise the luminosity of its subject. Set against a deeply textured backdrop of warm, sepia-toned shadows, the pure white lily emerges, caught in a singular shaft of light that grants it an almost ethereal glow.

The artist utilises thick, expressive brushwork to capture the flower's quiet resilience; the subtle imperfections on the petals are not flaws but marks of character and history. Housed in a humble, earth-toned vessel, the lily stands as a beacon—a solitary, resolute form that celebrates the sudden, ephemeral moment of illumination against enveloping darkness. This piece is a contemplative study on the interplay between solitude, light, and the enduring beauty found in simple, organic life.
