Death and despair,
sneak through the night’s air,
yet the owl, bearer of the storm,
stands tall in darkness,
a guide, his form.
With wise eyes and depth profound,
captures souls in gloom around,
warning all who dare to roam,
into the vast and darkened home.

An overwhelming atmosphere of intense emotional tension permeates this piece, where inner struggles and external forces collide. Despair and rage build to an uncontrollable peak, as if the emotions are on the verge of exploding. The chaotic, powerful brushstrokes create an atmosphere of pressure and threat – a sense of chaos that grips the viewer and doesn’t let go.
In this moment, a massive, unstoppable storm seems to rage both within and around the figures. It is an image of extreme tension, capturing the fragility and battle of emotions in a dramatic way, as the impending breakdown feels inevitable. A dark, almost apocalyptic mood runs through the work, where no clear escape is visible, and the energy of despair saturates everything.
“Where rage and despair collide, the true nature of the storm unfolds.” – Carmen Ferale
