The work “3 Lights” consists of a black surface, which is broken up in the upper third by a purple stripe. There are three white dots on the stripe, below which a long orange stripe, ending at the end, runs vertically downwards with a small paragraph. As abstract as the work appears, it quickly arouses the association of three lights that are reflected on a surface of water. The orange shimmer dissolves with increasing distance from the light source. Eduard Angeli is known for the loneliness in his pictures. Longing and loneliness also played a role in this picture, which has an almost hypnotic effect.
