I see you're looking at "Etter Solnedgang" (After Sunset). What do you make of it?

I was inspired by the unique beauty of the Norwegian landscape, particularly the poignant moments just after sunset. This painting captures the tranquility and the subtle interplay of light and shadow during twilight.

Yes, I used a muted palette to reflect the quiet and melancholic atmosphere of the evening. The fading light creates a sense of calmness and introspection.

Exactly. There's a transient quality to the scene, capturing that brief period when day turns to night. It's about the fleeting moments in nature that are often overlooked.

I wanted to convey the ruggedness of the Norwegian terrain, its wild and untamed beauty. The brushstrokes add a tactile quality to the landscape, making it feel alive.

Precisely. It's an invitation to reflect and find solace in the beauty of nature, to appreciate the quiet and meditative moments that dusk brings.
