Between Night and Day captures the charged moment when darkness rises and daylight fades — a world suspended between two states of being. In this expressive landscape, Ticiano paints a grove of twisting trees alive with movement, their branches bending and stretching as if stirred by the invisible winds of transition.
A deep cobalt sky surges upward in bold, sweeping strokes, while the sunlit ground glows with warm ochres, golds, and rhythmic marks of pink, yellow, and green. The contrast between the cool, intense sky and the warm, dancing earth creates a vibrant tension: a visual dialogue between night and day, shadow and light, stillness and motion.
The brushwork is confident and full of energy — a celebration of color and gesture. Rather than capturing realism, Ticiano focuses on the emotional truth of the moment, giving the trees personality and presence. Each tree becomes a character within the landscape, responding to the changing atmosphere in its own unique way.
Bold, vibrant, and unmistakably alive, Between Night and Day transforms a simple grove into a scene of inner electricity and shifting light. A striking expressive work that brings movement, color, and emotional resonance to any space.
