Before The World Wakes Soft Pastel on Paper - Framed original - 29.5 x 21.5 cm (plus frame)
Before The World Wakes captures the quiet promise of a new day — that fleeting moment when the horizon begins to glow and the world feels suspended in stillness. Layers of soft pastel build a luminous warmth against the cool expanse of sky and sea, balancing movement with calm. Created on premium Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper, the textured surface allows for rich depth and softness, enhancing the atmospheric quality of the piece. A reflection on renewal, presence, and the gentle beginning of something new.
Professionally framed and finished in a warm timber frame with archival matting and artglass for protection.
