Work at a Glance
A medium-format acrylic painting on canvas, created in 2025 in a vertical format, featuring a multilayered combination of flowing glazes in the upper section and precisely placed, rhythmic bands in the lower part.

How to Read the Painting?
A vast, glowing red evening sky opens up in the upper third of the painting – cloudy, warm, almost unreally beautiful, like the moment just before nightfall in a strange, magical place. Beneath it, the world begins to resonate: wave after wave of violet, coral, blue, and wine-red flow into one another – twisting, knotting, and unraveling again – as if memory and present, inner and outer, heaven and earth were converging in a single breath. The title sounds like a personal coordinate, an inner place that only painting can describe.

Who is this Painting for?
'Me at Five Moons' is a work of poetic power that bathes any room in a luminous glow and takes the viewer on a journey – far away and deep within, all at once.
