Around the edges of the painting, a sparse ring of silhouetted trees with slim branches frames the view, as if you’re standing in a clearing, looking up through a natural window to the cosmos.

The sky transitions from deep blue and violet hues at the top to warm pink and orange tones near the horizon, creating a sense of depth and quiet beauty.

The stripe of the Milky Way is a brilliant white, cutting across the wood panel and glowing with the light of billions of stars scattered across the heavens.

As I created this painting, I wanted to capture both the immensity and the serenity of the night sky.

The delicate twinkle of distant stars and the gentle gradient of colors evoke a sense of timelessness, reminding us how small we are in the grand scheme of the universe.
