My photo is strongly inspired by René Magritte's iconic painting “Le Fils de l'Homme”. It shows a person in an elegant suit and hat standing in front of a neutral wall. The person's face is obscured by an unusual object that appears surreal and unmediated - a typical feature of Magritte's work. In my photo, I have replaced the central motif of the painting, the green apple, with a pear to create a modern interpretation. The object hangs seemingly weightless in front of the subject's face, creating a sense of the unreal and mysterious. The color palette of the photograph is not as restrained and contrasts with the simple but effective aesthetic of Magritte's original. The lighting emphasizes the texture of the clothing and the background, while the object in the foreground remains sharp and detailed. The overall image conveys an atmosphere of mystery and challenges the viewer to reflect on the relationship between the concealed and the visible - a central theme in Magritte's art.

My name is Franz Hein, I was born in Ehrstädt, now Sinsheim, in 1965 and spent a lot of time in my youth with my photographer grandfather. I currently live in northern Germany near the Dutch border in the far west. Influenced by my grandfather, I came into contact with photography at a very early age and pursued it as a hobby for a long time, whereby technique and creative development improved with age. Over the years I have photographed many things, but never felt the real satisfaction with my work. As I was self-taught in photography, it was natural to study the works of various artists and art movements in photography. That's how I finally found my passion for not only No, I find myself and my works predominantly in the conceptual black and white photography, which had its heyday in the 60s to the end of the 70s. The often very abstract features of my works reflect in a certain way today's zeitgeist. Some colorful abstract photographs also found their way into my online gallery, but the emphasis lies in the monochrome design with contrasts and the play with light and shadow as well as the reduction to the essential. My ambition is to create few, but unique and well elaborated art photographs instead of many works in series. works in series I would like to share with you.
