The Last Sunset (2023)

I was inspired by a picture of a human being fishing in the deep mountains, and I deeply felt that he enjoyed his time with nature so much that his whole body and mind seemed to melt into it. Humans and nature are originally one, the essence of humans is a natural thing, and it is nature that is the ultimate home of humans. I can't explain the greatest meaning of nature to me, I just feel that nature to me means the open world, the spaciousness and freedom, and the love of all life. In my drawing, I want to highlight the shape and colour of the clouds. So I applied dark colours to both the background and the lake to create contrast against the clouds which are really bright.
