1. What inspired you to make this painting, Twilight- Surreal Lakeside Landscape Painting?
Twilight emerged from that fleeting hour when day and night hold each other in quiet embrace — a realm where the visible world softens into memory and reflection. I wanted to capture the serenity of a lakeside at moonrise, when colors melt into each other like whispered prayers of nature. This painting is both dream and remembrance — hence a surreal blend of realism and impressionism that mirrors how the soul perceives stillness. Every brushstroke speaks of calm transitions, of endings that are beginnings in disguise.

2. What makes your paintings unique?
I create 100% original artwork, hand-painted in hyperrealism using multiple layered strokes and mixed techniques (acrylics, pens, pencils). The painting is adorned with a encompassing colored palette. I never use reproductions or digital shortcuts — hence, every stroke is authentic.
3. Why are your artworks premium priced?
I make large scale paintings on large-scale canvases approximately (36×48 inches and beyond) with intricate detail, symbolic storytelling, and archival pigments. Hence, these are investment-grade fine art, not décor.
4. How do I know it’s professional?
I create all my artworks under Sumana Burman Fine Art , a registered fine art brand with a professional website, brand identity, and transparent compliance policies.

5. Will it hold value?
Yes. My works are one-of-a-kind and never reproduced. As my portfolio expands and my international collector base grows, early acquisitions naturally appreciate in both emotional and financial value.
