Portraitist of flowers, Sven Ahlborn (born in 1969 in Switzerland) lived for 53 years in Switzerland, moved recently to São Luís, a small village on the Vicentina coast in Portugal. Education and training of an inquisitive, open and organoleptic mind through the institution life. Lives his life according to the classic HJP-method: with heart, joy and passion. From time to time he writes reflections on daily life this to reconnect the human being to himself and his wild nature and thus reinforce feminine values because it is they - and beauty - that will save humanity. Married since 1999 and father of a daughter since 2003.
Photographer since his early childhood, he has always loved flowers. Flowers are to the earth what stars are to the sky. "efflorescence" wants to show that, despite the atrocities that the media feed us daily, there are everywhere little bits of beauty in our everyday life, on the edge of our windows, in flower beds, on the steps of a staircase or in our gardens. Just open your eyes just a little to see them, to soak in them, to let yourself be carried away. He wishes to bring small nuggets of grace to the contemplator so that he, in turn, becomes as beautiful as a white peony, as light as a rose petal suspended...
Self-taught artist, well not only. My mother teached me the love of flowers and my father the basics of photography. And then I got inspired by so many great artists, writers and "ordinary" people.
efflorescence — (noun) Recognized as one of the most beautiful words in the English language, efflorescence is recognized as a state of blooming, flowering and development.
