This photo captures the mesmerising beauty of Lago Verde, located on the rugged west coast of Lanzarote. The eye is immediately drawn to the intensely emerald green lake, which contrasts sharply with the black volcanic sand and orange-red cliffs that surround it. This surreal place, also known as the Green Lake, was created by centuries of volcanic activity and the play of natural forces. The water owes its vibrant colour to algae, which thrive in the unique composition of the mineral-rich water.
The inspiration for this work lies in the power of the contrast between tranquillity and wildness: the calm lake versus the tempestuous Atlantic Ocean, which breaks against the shoreline at the edge of the frame with white foam heads. The image strikes an atmosphere of mystery and timelessness, an invitation to contemplate the sublime balance of natural forces.
With this photograph, I want to convey a sense of wonder and reverence, a reminder of how the earth continues to surprise us with its creations. This work is not only a window to a unique location, but also a talking point in any interior. The vibrant contrasts and natural forms bring energy to modern spaces and add a touch of adventure to classic interiors.
