Winter’s Quiet Architecture

A3 original alcohol ink artwork on Yupo paper (with mount)
 
This A3 alcohol ink painting on Yupo paper captures the essence of trees in winter light, rendered with delicate abstraction and ethereal softness.
 
Tall, slender forms rise from the base of the composition — abstracted tree trunks that stretch gracefully upward, their branches implied in fluid, tapering extensions. The trunks are painted in shades of soft burgundy, rosewood, sienna, and muted ivory, bleeding into one another with a quiet elegance that suggests the stillness of bare trees against a winter sky.
 
The background is composed of gentle horizontal washes in muted greys, pale lilacs, and soft taupes — reminiscent of a frosty landscape at dusk, where the horizon disappears into a blur of chilled light. The absence of foliage and the verticality of the forms evoke the feeling of a forest laid bare, stripped back to its essential structure. Yet there’s warmth within the coolness — a tender glow from the occasional burnished orange or warm blush where the ink pools and gathers.
 
This piece holds a quiet poetry — a moment of reflection, solitude, and the subtle strength of nature enduring through stillness.
