Liana - Wächter

The work depicts a winter river landscape, where the frozen water surface dominates the scene and exudes an almost meditative silence. The river, usually a symbol of movement, flow, and change, is here completely frozen — covered with a solid white snow layer, as if time itself had frozen.

Central elements of the composition are two trees standing 'caught' on the shore of the frozen river. Their bare branches bear the traces of snow and cold winter wind, forming striking, graphic lines in the landscape. The two trees appear as silent guardians — symbols of resilience and solitude that defy the harshness of winter.

The subdued color palette — cold gray, the gentle sparkle of snow, and the matte blue of ice — creates an atmosphere where the harshness of nature and the poetic calm of the scene blend seamlessly.

The artwork invites the viewer into a contemplative silence: it shows the power of winter, where nature and time seem to be frozen simultaneously, while the two trees become silent, unwavering protagonists of this environment.
