Colorful clouds serve as the backdrop to this sunset scene. The azure blue sea appears calm and the rocky shore meanders from somewhere in the distance. In this work, importance was given to spatial layering. The subject is three scenes in one, as all differ in terms of colors, texture, proportions and atmosphere. However, the overall scene is sedate and harmonious. This is the result of the artist's ingenious spatial arrangement and composition. The continuous arc-shaped rocky beach was created by tens of thousands of years of erosion by the tides. This is the best annotation of the ability of soft to overcome hard in Nature.
