Nature's Secrets (12) Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

The bark of a very old birch tree. When I walk through our garden, I love to touch the trees and plants I walk by. It creates a connection with the nature around you when you not only sniff scents and enjoy the colors, but when in addition you feel the softness of leaves, the hardness of bark, the fragility of flowers…. The differences in texture are enormous, the shapes vary endlessly. Not only is it nice for you to caress the skin of your own hand along the leaves, I am convinced that the plant also enjoys your touch…. And mindfully touching nature around you, makes you very aware of your dependence on everything. Every bite, sip, breath…. Everything is given to you by nature, by what grows and flourishes on Mother Earth. Nature is brimming with a vast, infinite collection of patterns, colors and textures. And every moment of the day, every place you go, everywhere you look, every change in weather and light, opens up a new treasure chest of experiences. Exploring this pallet, by crawling through forests, fields and over beaches, provides a vast amount of material and inspiration for a new collection of abstract, slightly reworked artworks. This is a digital transformation of a photograph, printed with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm). The work comes in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. Maximum size is 150Wx150H cm / 60Wx60H inches. Please let me know if you would prefer another size. I start with one or more photographs made by myself to create these artworks. Then I use digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic effects, until a surrealistic atmosphere is created that touches me and tells the story I want to tell.
