Miguel Carbajal (1986), Threshold of Light, an original 2020 oil painting from Switzerland, 50 × 70 cm, signed, depicting a surreal landscape with a monumental arch-like form in a multicoloured palette.
Description from the seller
Threshold of Light offers a dreamlike landscape where the familiar becomes symbolic.
A monumental arch-like form rises from a golden field, casting a deep blue shadow that stretches toward a solitary tree.
Above, light-filled clouds and a sweeping arc of color introduce movement, evoking a sense of crossing from one state to another.
The painting operates both as landscape and metaphor: the arch becomes a portal, a passage, a moment suspended between what is known and what is yet to be discovered.
The contrast between the heavy, sculptural form and the soft, luminous sky highlights the tension between grounding and aspiration.
