Dimensions:  30 x 40 cm; Media: Canvas, tempera, gold sheets; Country of origin: Hungary; Year of creation: 2025; Description: This painting has a special atmosphere. The use of gold leaf not only lends the image a sense of luxury and brilliance , but also suggests a sense of timelessness and transcendent light. Gold, as a material, also symbolizes holiness and light in icon painting, and here it makes the coastal landscape soaked in the sun’s rays even more magical. The duality of the composition – the shimmering sand of the receding sea and the mixing of earth, water and sand on the left – shows the constant change of nature and the blurring of boundaries. The contrast between the white sparkling water and the golden shore further highlights the play of light. The walking human figure is lonely, but not necessarily sad. Rather, he may be experiencing an inner journey, a calm moment in which he is immersed in the beauty of the landscape. The shadow cast by the sun’s rays on the wet sand emphasizes the presence of the figure, but at the same time may also suggest that man is only a fleeting moment in the ever-changing world of the sea. Overall, the painting presents us with a meditative, lyrical image, where the relationship between light, water, and man suggests a kind of immersion and quiet contemplation.
