About the artwork

The fantastic winter landscape unfolds like a scene from a fairy tale: snow-covered peaks glow in the warm glow of a magical sunset, while the air is so clear and frosty that every breath forms small crystal clouds. The light falls flat over the mountain ridges and paints long, golden shadows in the white expanse; reds, pinks and purples mingle on the horizon, creating a surreally beautiful play of colours that contrasts with the cold blue of the snowy surfaces. At the foot of the mountains lie forests of frozen fir trees, their branches glistening under a delicate layer of frost as if sprinkled with diamonds. Small paths wind their way through the pristine white, interrupted by animal tracks that emphasise the silence and solitude of the scenery.

In the foreground, ice crystals sparkle on grasses and ridges, and occasionally smoking villages or remote huts with warm light behind the windows appear - small signs of human presence in the magnificent, unyielding nature. The sky stretches out in wavy veils of mist and clouds, with individual rays of sunlight breaking through and illuminating the snow peaks at certain points. The atmosphere is both sublime and calming; a deep stillness hangs over the valley, interrupted only occasionally by the crack of ice or the distant call of a bird. This photograph not only captures the visual beauty of a frosty mountain evening, but also conveys a sense of awe, security and the fleeting magic of a moment that reveals itself to the viewer like a precious fragment of memory.
