This work shows a landscape with a lake on which two Black-necked Swans (Cygnus melancoryphus) are swimming and a row of volcanoes, reflecting in the water, in the background.
The image is a fantasy landscape that was composed in Photoshop from three vershculty parts: swans, volcanoes and sky. I photographed the Swarthal swans in a fjord in Patagonia and the row of volcanoes on the Altiplano high in the Andes in northern Chile. I deliberately chose a somewhat minimalist image. For me, this uncomplicated image perfectly captures the peace and solitude found on the high plateau of the Andes mountains, the Altiplano, in northern Chile and Argentina.
In colour, this sculpture has a blue tint, giving it a cool look. A black-and-white version of this work also exists
