Rising sun 2017

Alfred Freddy Krupa captured this scene of the rising sun, an image that has been charged with symbolism since the dawn of human consciousness. The sun, a universal symbol of rebirth, illumination, and life, dominates the view, filling the room with its golden light. Across cultures and epochs, the rising sun has signified hope and new beginnings. Consider the Egyptian god Ra, reborn each morning, or the countless sunrise rituals performed to honor the sun's life-giving power. Yet, the symbolism of the sun is not static. In some contexts, it can represent enlightenment and knowledge, while in others, it signifies power and authority. The emotional resonance of this image lies in its ability to tap into our collective memory. We are drawn to the light as a fundamental aspect of the human experience, stirring deep-seated feelings of hope and renewal. The rising sun in Krupa's artwork is not merely a visual phenomenon; it is a symbol that resonates across time and cultures.
