The author was inspired by the spectrum of white light that the sun emits

The work The Sun-Shutters, white light spectrum is literally about the sun. The artwork explores the star we see in the sky that illuminates us with a yellow, sometimes white solar glow. The sun as a physical body is of the spectral type and from the ground is seen as white. The author was inspired by the spectrum of white light that the sun emits while creating the work, which showcases the colors of sunlight, emphasizing the closer relationship of humankind and everyday life with sunlight, essential to survival, but from which people often defend themselves. The artwork was specially created for BIEN.
