About the artwork

This photo shows a close-up of weathered, corrugated metal plates. The plates show signs of rust and corrosion, with a mix of green and blue-grey tones. The texture and colour variations make it an interesting image for abstract art photography.

As an abstract art photographer, I am always looking for the hidden beauty in the everyday. This work from the "Weathered Harmony" series is a perfect representation of my fascination with texture and decay. The weathered metal plates with their rusty surfaces create a dynamic play of colours and shapes that invites the viewer to look deeper.

My inspiration for this work came while walking through an abandoned industrial site. The weathered surfaces told a story of the ravages of time and the influence of the elements. The wabi-sabi philosophy, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and impermanence, formed the core of my artistic vision.

The mood I want to set with this is a mix of tranquillity and contemplation, an invitation to contemplate the beauty of decay. This work fits within the abstract art style and can be compared to the work of artists such as Aaron Siskind and Gerhard Richter, who also explore the aesthetics of texture and surface.

What makes this work so special is the way it challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface and discover the hidden stories. It is an artwork that not only intrigues visually, but also evokes a deeper sense of appreciation for the natural processes of decay. A perfect addition for the wall of anyone who loves abstract art and the beauty of the imperfect.
