Symbiosis (4) - (large) Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Symbiosis Drowned forests nurturing seaweed Symbiosis 'Symbiosis (4)' is an artwork in the collection 'Drowned Earth'. In this collection I show you how I see the earth from, let's say, a few centuries from now. An amalgamation of the forests and the oceans. With hopefully in the distant future a rich ecosystem that has managed to adapt to the new conditions. Will there still be room for humans in that world? Yes, I think so. Will there also be room for the "civilized" Western man? No, absolutely not, unless they learn to be one with nature again. It will take several generations for that to happen. I sincerely wonder if the generations of Western man now living on earth will be able to bring about this transformation. It will take more time for that, I fear.... Read more about this project on my website. For the background I used a water color painting of kelp, made by the South African painter Nellien Brewer. Please let me know if you prefer another size. 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 160Wx225H cm / 64Wx90H inches. Please let me know if you would prefer another size. For these artworks, I start with one or more photographs made by myself, which I transform in multiple process runs and in several layers by 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.
