Ambiguous Sky is based on a performance of Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata K276 by Wladyslaw Klosiewicz on harpsichord.
There is a unique dividing line in the Sonata where f minor suddenly turns to F Major, and in the F Major section Klosiewicz suddenly releases a damper on the strings. The text on the painting refers to a line from a Rilke poem called Sunset. The break between earth and sky occurs at the dividing line you see on in the center of the painting.

A fantasy image of a sunset, or maybe a sunrise, inspired the theme of this painting. Credit for illustration, unknown.
