About the artwork

This photo takes you to an impressive vantage point, enveloped in the timeless elegance of black and white. The image shows a wide panorama of the coastline, where the gentle contours of the land merge into the vast ocean under a threatening but beautiful overcast sky. In the foreground, a concrete structure gracefully bends with the curve of the hill, giving the composition a dynamic depth. To the left on the slope are several pine trees, their silhouettes sharply outlined against the lighter water.

My inspiration for this work came from the raw, pure beauty of the landscape, even under a grey sky. I wanted to capture the atmosphere of mystery and grandeur that this place exudes, with the lack of colour emphasising the shapes, textures and contrasts between light and dark. This place is an intense experience of nature for me, and this photo tries to convey that sense of wonder and melancholy.

The atmosphere I am trying to set is one of calm, introspection and a touch of drama. It feels cool and soothing, inviting contemplation. For me, this image symbolises the boundlessness of nature and the beauty that lies in simplicity and serenity.

This photo print is a powerful addition to any interior, from modern minimalist to classic. It perfectly suits people who love landscapes with character, the aesthetic of black-and-white photography, and images that tell a story without words. It is a window into the serenity and majesty of a timeless place, a work of art that continues to captivate.
