“Between Knowledge And Snow”

This painting belongs to the In-Between series as a moment suspended within urban energy, where the city flows through the body, but the heart walks alone.

The river has already chosen stillness. Snow settles into its long memory.

Above it, the Library stands – not announcing itself, only watching.

It has seen centuries pass, names written and erased, ideas rise like towers and fade like weather. And still, it remains.

Below, two people walk their dog, their footprints briefly pressing into the day.
They do not look up. They do not need to.

Winter holds them all the same – stone and water, knowledge and habit, the grand and the ordinary moving quietly together through another passing afternoon.
