A magical Christmas night

It is an oil painting in the style of naive expressionism.
I wanted to show the distant past, when there were no street lamps or telephones. A European village and two teenagers watching a magical starfall on Christmas night. The space around them comes alive with dancing candles moving, pointing and lighting the way. On the threshold of adulthood, a Christmas gift from an angel who whispers softly: "always remember the miracles".

I am a psychologist and I started painting in 2011, working with clients in art therapy.
I fell in love with painting and began to learn how to paint from modern masters.
Since 2018 I am participating in the Art Night art festival in Leipzig.
