About the artwork

A flower looms in the darkness, a tulip sparkling in orange and yellow. The petals seem to dance in the light, with different shades blending into each other. The stem is like a flash of green against the flower's warm colours. The black around it gives the tulip something mysterious, as if it is telling a hidden story.

The flower is wide open, as if to reveal a secret. You can see every detail, every fold and texture of the petals. It is as if you can see the tulip from the inside. The picture is simple but powerful: just the flower and stem against the black.

Tulips are already beautiful, but this one is mesmerising. You can see how the flower opens up and shows all these different layers. The light seems to play with the flower, just like in old paintings where light and dark challenge each other.

The picture is elegant and dramatic, but also intimate. The warm colours against the black create an atmosphere where you can almost touch the tulip. It is a snapshot of pure beauty captured in a flash of light.

This photo makes you quiet, as if you want to forget time for a moment. Showing one flower in such detail reminds you of the wonders of nature. Every detail is perfect, every colour is hit.

I used special techniques, low-key photography and a macro lens. So all the details and colours come out perfectly. The sharpness is just right, so that both the flower and the stem are in focus. It is a picture you want to look at again and again, and each time you discover something new.
