At first glance, the painting “Sudden Illumination” plunges the viewer into darkness. This contrast of darkness and light creates the feeling of a sudden, unexpected illumination, as if a bright lamp suddenly lit up in a dark room.
This light, shining through the darkness that envelops everything, symbolizes a glimmer of hope, a flash of intuition or insight. It makes the viewer think about the nature of human consciousness, about the capacity for insights and revelations that can arise even in the darkest and most hopeless moments of existence.
