Painting of a solitary figure sitting on a park bench at night under streetlights.

Park Bench under a Flickering Streetlight (Post-Impressionism + Expressionism) Theme: The disconnection from nature and the struggle to find meaning in modern relationships. Description: A solitary figure sits on a park bench at night, their form distorted and exaggerated, as seen in the works of Vincent van Gogh or Edvard Munch. The background features distorted trees with twisted, almost skeletal branches, emphasizing a sense of spiritual emptiness. The streetlight is an unnatural yellow hue, casting long, exaggerated shadows that stretch over the figure. The figure's posture is tense, their gaze downward, disconnected from the natural world around them. The surrounding trees and path seem almost alive, yet the figure remains disconnected from this energy. Influences: Vincent van Gogh’s vibrant, emotional use of color and brushstroke from his Starry Night series mixed with the intense, tortured isolation of Edvard Munch’s The Scream. The focus on the disconnection between the figure and the world around them mirrors the theme of the emptiness of human connection. See more
