Red Rock No. 0624

In this vivid nighttime image from Marvell’s Paint the World series, the sculpted cliffs of Red Rocks, Nevada are bathed in layers of color that feel both surreal and elemental. Bold washes of green, indigo, and fuchsia cascade across the rock face, while a single branch in sharp orange light reaches into the scene like a flame suspended in air. The contrast between the jagged terrain and delicate vegetation, the stillness of the desert and the intensity of light, creates a composition that feels charged with quiet energy—raw, poetic, and fleeting. Created without any digital alteration, this image is the result of a live lighting installation captured in a single exposure. Available as a fabric print framed in black, and scalable up to 6 feet by 5 feet, it carries a bold visual presence and atmospheric depth. More than a landscape photograph, it’s a collaboration with place—an ephemeral performance of light on stone, honoring the sacred geometry of the land. It is a piece that captures both awe and stillness, offering a moment of reverence for the untamed beauty of the desert after dark.
