About the artwork

The majestic backdrop of the Chinyero volcano rises like a proud sentinel over the Arena Negras zone in the Teide National Park, on the beautiful island of Tenerife. The panoramic photo reveals a breathtaking landscape, shrouded in an aura of mystery and contrast.

The Chinyero volcano towers with its barren beauty in the middle of a barren plain. Its jagged peaks tower proudly telling of past eruptions and the unbridled power of nature. The black lava that once flowed from its interior creates a fascinating pattern of rugged formations and extinct rivers.
The Arena Negras zone, a seemingly endless expanse of volcanic debris, stretches out before us like a black and white painting. The granular structure of the lava layers contrasts with the darkness of the sky, which is covered by heavy clouds. In the midst of this harsh scenery, the Chinyero volcano looks even more powerful and impressive.
The colours of the panoramic photo are muted, the dark earth tones blending with the grey veils of the sky. Yet there is an uncanny beauty in this contrast. The interplay of light and shadow, of the stillness of the landscape and the looming presence of the sky, creates an atmosphere of majesty and awe.
This panoramic photo of Chinyero Volcano in the Arena Negras zone of Teide National Park, in Tenerife, the Canary Islands, Spain, captures the sombre beauty of this place. It reminds us that amidst the wild and untamed nature, there is also an incomparable poetry that fills us with awe and awakens our senses.
