Voices In The Trees Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Voices In The Trees Yesterday I climbed up the hill But halfway there, the wind and fog made climbing hard The grass slippery with moisture, and smelling of spring A song helped me to continue on my way Once at the top I used the moss as a pillow while the voices of the wind in the trees soothed me to sleep. 'Voices In The Trees' is an artwork in my collections 'Secret Places' and Digital Art'. The three main layers of this work are: - A photograph of a hilly landscape with wind-bent trees in Iran, made by the Iranian painter Niloofar Mahafel - A photograph of the coffee grounds in my cup after drinking a cup of delicious Vietnamese coffee - And as background a photo of an abstract work of art made by the American painter Karina Mosser When my cup was empty, I looked, as always, at the "markings" the coffee grounds had left on the bottom. The 'drawing' of a tree that I saw fascinated me, spoke to me and inspired me to create this artwork. This is a digital artwork, 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. For these artworks, I start with a photograph made by myself, which I edit in multiple process runs and in several layers by color manipulation and adding and editing multiple digital photographic effects, until a surrealistic atmosphere is created that touches me and tells the story I want to tell. The photograph I begin with has an impressionistic, abstract or abstract realist style, which is the basis for all my work.
