SUNRISE

Sunrise is a gentle hymn to the quiet beauty of a new day. Painted in oils on copper, the soft metallic glow breathes through the colours, giving the beach scene a warm inner radiance — as if the light is rising not only over the horizon, but from within the painting itself.

The moment is one of complete tranquillity: the first blush of dawn reflected on calm waters, the sky unfolding in a feast of colour, and the shoreline resting in peaceful stillness. Nothing rushes here. Everything is hushed, poised, and full of quiet promise.

In this work, I wanted to honour that fragile turning point between night and day — the moment the world holds its breath, waiting for the sun to lift fully into the sky. Sunrise is an invitation to pause, to soften, and to let the light wash gently over whatever the new day brings.
