Painter Conjuring Mountains From Dark

A robed figure in a conical hat sits at an easel where the canvas bleeds seamlessly into the real world behind it — the ink-wash mountains he renders are the same ones dissolving into night air at his back. A single point of luminescence pulses at his brushstroke, scattering prismatic flecks across his palette, as though light itself is the pigment he's grinding. The whole scene hovers between ink and atmosphere, creation and dissolution.
