A secret garden that remembers your footsteps before you arrive. This painting invites the viewer into a dreamlike sanctuary, where foliage whispers ancient names and the archway glows with soft, sacred light. Nature here is not wild — it is deliberate, almost ceremonial. Every leaf seems to bow, every shadow breathes peace. It is not just a place to look at, but a space to rest in — a visual threshold between the real and the imagined.
