About the artwork

At dawn, a dazzling sunrise rises over the fascinating Caldera Colorada in the Parque Natural de Los Volcanes on Lanzarote, one of the enchanting Canary Islands. The scenery is characterised by an enchanting poetry that touches the senses and makes the soul fly.
In the photo, the warm light of the rising sun captures the majestic beauty of this place. The gentle rays bathe the craggy landscape in a magical glow, while the sky shines in a hue of gold and orange. It is a moment in which the world breathes and celebrates life in all its splendour.
In the foreground of the picture, the delicate Canary Island dock (Rumex lunaria) attracts everyone's attention. Its delicate, heart-shaped leaves shimmer in a vibrant green and contrast beautifully with the rough, volcanic ground. This robust plant seems to thrive despite the extreme conditions of the environment and symbolises the strength and adaptability of nature.
A spectacular lava bomb rests in the background, reminding us that Lanzarote was once formed by powerful volcanic forces. Its dark, curved exterior contrasts with the delicacy of the flower and lends the picture a certain drama and historical significance. This apparent paradox between fragility and strength reflects the essence of the island.
The photograph tells of a place where the past meets the present and of the beauty that lies in the symbiosis of nature and human existence. It reminds us that we are part of a greater whole and that nature always surprises and inspires us.
In this magical moment of the sunrise with the Canary Island camphor and the lava bomb in front of the Caldera Colorada, you feel at one with the world and time seems to stand still for a precious moment.
