This photo takes you to the lush, rolling landscapes of the Azores, a place that inspires me time and again with its pristine nature. In the middle of this image, you see a lone black cow grazing peacefully on a slope of intense green grass. The hills stretch to a dark green line of dense trees, which sits like a crown on the horizon. At the bottom right, an old, stone well with a red metal door catches the eye, a hint of human presence in this otherwise natural scene.
The inspiration for this work comes from the serene tranquillity I experience during my travels to such unspoilt places. It is the silence, the purity of the landscape and the simplicity of farm life that touch me. I try to convey a sense of calm, space and connection with nature with this image. It is a reminder of the beauty that lies in everyday moments.
This work exudes a peaceful, earthy atmosphere. The combination of the vibrant greenery, the dark cow and the earthy tones of the well creates a harmony that evokes a sense of timelessness. It was made during one of those moments when everything is right: the light, the composition, the presence of the animal. This print can add a sense of peace and space to any interior, perfect for lovers of nature, travel or just looking for an image that exudes calm.
