About the artwork

Be enchanted by the majestic beauty of Lisbon, captured in this breathtaking image. Experience the serene calm of the Tagus River as the sun slowly disappears behind the iconic Ponte 25 de Abril, the city enveloped in a soft glow of evening light.

My inspiration for this work came from my admiration for the stunning vistas Lisbon has to offer. The graceful arch of the bridge, the calm flow of the river and the lush colours of the setting sun combined to form an image I had to capture.

With this image, I want to take the viewer on a journey through time, to a moment of stillness and wonder. It evokes a sense of melancholy as the day slowly turns to evening and the city prepares for night.

This work is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to reflect on the beauty of life and the power of nature. It reminds us to enjoy the small, precious moments the world has to offer us.

By using special techniques, I have tried to capture the unique atmosphere of this magical moment. The play of light and shadow, the subtle colour tones and the carefully chosen composition all contribute to the enchanting aura of this work.

This work will be an eye-catcher in any interior, be it a modern flat with clean lines or a classic mansion with a rich history. It evokes memories of balmy summer evenings at the seaside and adds a touch of Portuguese charm to any space.
