Last Light – Natura Dualis Collection
The Natura Dualis collection by Van Dieman’s explores those fleeting, beautiful moments in nature where contrasts merge — not in conflict, but in communion. Each ink is designed to capture duality through motion and tone: shimmering halos, trailing riverlets, softened edges, and layered colour separation. Whether through light and shadow, earth and sky, or silence and sound, these inks reflect the natural world’s instinct to express more than one thing at once.
Last Light is that final trace of the sun before it vanishes — not quite day, not quite night. It doesn’t blaze, it lingers. It hums rather than sings. In the Natura Dualis collection, it is the counterpart to Daybreak: where Daybreak announces its arrival, Last Light quietly withdraws.
The colour is deeply expressive — a rich, dusky violet base illuminated by soft pinks and fading into cool blue halos at the edges. In broader strokes, it moves like twilight on the page, with large blooms of colour separation and shadow. In finer writing, it leans to a gentle mauve, perfect for moody journaling, introspective letters, or quiet poetry.
It’s not the brightest colour in the set — but it might be the most reflective.
