Lantern plant / Physalis
I am fascinated by dead / dried up nature. Dead', but so full of life, so inspiring, so beautiful!
I took this photo with natural light from the side (called skimming light), which accentuates the structures of the plant. You can see the transparent structure of the veins around the orange fruits.
This mystical, natural light is also known as Rembrandt light. Painters (such as the 'Dutch Master' Rembrandt) in the 17th century (Golden Age) were already working with it.
During the shoot I let the twig move gently, let it 'dance', which created a sense of movement and a subtle dynamic in the photo.
This mystical, stylish art photo combines beautifully with elements of gold, ochre, bronze, copper and brass in an interior. The photo matches beautifully with warm earth tones (such as brown, rust and moss green), but also with a minimalist, modern black and white interior.
This work of art fits in all spaces, such as living room, kitchen, hallway and office. In the bedroom it can create a dreamy, calming feeling.
Interior styles / trends where it fits:
