The Starry Night
Artwork by Dana Schmidt
 
Medium: Oil on canvas
 
This painting invites the viewer into a vast, meditative space—an abstract vision that evokes the infinity of the universe. Swirling forms and layered textures echo the silent movement of celestial bodies, while rich, deep tones suggest the mysteries hidden within galaxies and the night sky.
The piece does not depict the universe literally, but rather emotionally—through rhythm, contrast, and depth. It asks us to pause, look beyond the visible, and feel the immense scale of what surrounds and transcends us. Like the cosmos, it is both still and in motion, distant yet deeply personal.
