The picture shows Lake Leopoldstein near Eisenerz in Styria at the end of the summer season. The beach buffet has already closed, the chairs are chained to the table...
It was the dreary atmosphere at the beginning of autumn on the otherwise busy lakeshore that made the red chairs stand out visually and created an exciting and at the same time
and at the same time a little melancholic recollection of the summer.
The deliberate reduction of the colours to the red of the chairs further enhanced this mood.
The early autumn tranquillity at the deserted mountain lake is in tension with the hectic hustle and bustle of summer tourism.
The unique atmosphere conveyed by the picture amazes and fascinates the viewer in equal measure.
The reduced colour scheme makes it possible to combine this picture with numerous furnishing and decoration styles.
