Artist: NAREL
Title: Luminal Forest
Description:
Luminal Forest stands among NAREL’s most emblematic works, exploring the resonance between light, nature, and memory. The forest within this painting is not merely a landscape, but a realm where the frequencies of existence linger. Light descends vertically through the trees, defying the pull of gravity — a visual manifestation of the inner voice humanity has forgotten.
NAREL describes this work as “a forest where light prays in silence.” The cool azure tones convey the chill of memory, while the layered magenta and violet hues express the warmth of emotion. Fragments of reflected color drift across the water — never touching, yet unified in a single spectrum — embodying the artist’s philosophy that all feelings ultimately converge into one continuum of light.
Luminal Forest invites the viewer to ponder: “If light could speak in the language of time, what color would its words be?” It serves as both an answer to that question and a bridge — between humanity, divinity, and technology — toward a new emotional vocabulary of illumination.
Artist’s Note:
“When light falls like memory, silence becomes sacred.”
