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 rugged landscape in a magical glow, while the sky glows with a hint of gold and orange. It is a moment when the world breathes and celebrates life in all its splendour.
In the foreground of the picture, the delicate Canary amphora (Rumex lunaria) catches everyone's eye. Its delicate, heart-shaped leaves shimmer in a strong 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, a reminder that Lanzarote was once shaped by powerful volcanic forces. Its dark, curved exterior contrasts with the delicacy of the flower, adding a sense of drama and history to the image. 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 sunrise with the Canary Island Aspen 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.
