"Golden Hour," Nyukov captures a breathtaking view of a Central Asian mountain range bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The peaks, partially covered in snow, glow with an ethereal light that contrasts beautifully with the shadowed valleys below. This painting represents a more impressionistic approach to his usual realism, showing Nyukov’s evolving style as he moves towards more expressive use of color and light. The piece embodies the fleeting beauty of twilight in high-altitude landscapes, encapsulating a moment that is both peaceful and powerful.
