Painting by Lana Korolievskaia

No matter how long humanity has existed, to this day we are all fascinated by the spectacle of the sun rising or setting. No matter how different we are, every person admires these daily astronomical events. They continue to touch us to the core. A joint meeting of the dawn or dinner at sunset acquires the status of a ritual and sacred rite. When the sun is low on the horizon, unusual lighting is created. It miraculously transforms the surrounding space, giving it a mysterious, promising look. Even ordinary architectural structures in the city begin to look fabulous, but what about nature, deprived of the rectangular rationality of the urban environment? The author of this landscape was also imbued with the solemnity of the sunset in the mountains. The unique play of sun glare on the lumpy surface of the earth, fluffy clouds illuminated from below, contrasting combinations of heterogeneous textures and colors - all this magnificence teaches us to appreciate the elusive moments of transient existence, learn to look inside ourselves and realize our unity with the Universe. Take a little break from the endless bustle of your life, and join the ability to abstract and contemplate. Let just one look at this picture put you in a meditative state, even if you don’t live in nature or it’s not evening.
