Abstract
Anochecer, literal meaning to become night, is a rumination of the nightly phenomenon as the sun descends below the horizon. The fleeting sun creates a multicolored gradient of atmospheric light that also washes over the landscape tinting everything in warm smoldering oranges, lavenders, and blues. As a child I feared the sun setting, the night represented the witching hour. As an adult I welcome it, it is the calmest time of my day and every night the sun gives us a variant of colors, no two nights are the same. El anochecer is now comfort, the soothing beginning of a resting period. Through panting I am trying to capture these changes of light and color on the landscape. Sequential moments of the sun light on flower petals or the slow and subtle change of the night sky becoming darker and the city lights become a little brighter. Rapid and frenetic brush strokes with deep matte colors represent the vanishing sun and its intense palette of oranges and blues spread over the landscape. By doing this, I am inviting the viewer to a walkthrough of el anochecer.
