The old medieval town wall is balanced with the beauty of nature which creates an interesting composition (YIN-YANG philosophy, darkness balanced with light). I wanted to create a feeling for the viewer that he/she is being transported from the shadows into the light through the 'C' shaped sunlit road. The Wall could indicate mystery, adversity or darkness. The green tree indicates the joys of life. Therefore I designed the composition in such a way as to minimize the walls and maximize the trees and draw the viewer's attention to the road leading into the light. My painting symbolizes THE JOURNEY OF LIFE - from shadows into the warm light. I want to convey a sense of happiness when people look at my paintings. If I can make someone happy through my art then that is the biggest accomplishment.
