Describe this painting

The composition presents a nocturnal gathering of luminous figures standing in and around curved boat-like vessels against a deep black background. The figures are rendered in brilliant fluorescent yellows, oranges, and coral pinks, their elongated forms glowing like flames or spirits against the darkness. They stand in loose groups, some appearing to be in boats outlined with rainbow-colored curved lines of pink, blue, and yellow, while others rise directly from the void. The entire scene is dramatically overlaid with white paint splatters and drips that cascade down from above like starlight, rain, or cosmic energy. The upper portion features horizontal bands of deep teal and magenta purple suggesting a twilight sky or distant horizon. Small touches of green and other colors appear in the middle ground, hinting at vegetation or additional forms partially obscured by the darkness. The artwork evokes a profound sense of spiritual congregation and cosmic celebration, as if witnessing souls gathering at the threshold between worlds. The fluorescent, almost neon quality of the figures against the absolute blackness creates an otherworldly luminosity, suggesting beings made of pure light or energy rather than flesh. The dramatic white splatters add an element of divine intervention or cosmic blessing showering down upon the assembly. The boat motifs suggest journeys, transitions, and the ancient symbolism of vessels carrying souls across mystical waters. There is both celebration and solemnity in this nocturnal sanctuary - a place where awakening happens collectively, where light emerges from darkness, and where the gathered spirits seem to pulse with life force against the infinite void. The overall atmosphere is one of transcendent beauty and sacred mystery.
