About the artwork

? What do you see in this work?
The legendary Kehlsteinhaus takes centre stage in this photograph, as an island of history amid the overwhelming beauty of the Alps. Photographed from above, the image shows visitors walking along the winding paths to the house, while in the background the vast mountain landscape stretches to the horizon. The combination of people, architecture and nature gives this image a dynamic and timeless character.

? My inspiration for this work
The Kehlsteinhaus is not only a historical site, but also one of the most impressive vantage points in Europe. From this perspective, the building's solitude in the mighty Alps is further emphasised. I wanted to capture the balance between the human and the overwhelming natural landscape, making the story of this place even stronger.

? The mood I am trying to set
This photo exudes grandeur, adventure and a touch of mysticism. The small figures moving towards the Kehlsteinhaus give a sense of perspective - a reminder of how small man is amidst nature. The immense depth of the landscape in the background adds a sense of freedom and infinity.

? Special technique
The high perspective and composition with the Kehlsteinhaus in the centre draw the eye directly to the subject. The footpaths guide the eye through the photo, while the contrast between human activity and untouched nature creates a powerful visual dynamic.

? Why does this work fit into your interior?
This photo is a real eye-catcher for lovers of history, nature and spectacular vistas. It brings a sense of adventure and calm to a space and fits perfectly in both modern and classic interiors. Ideal for a living room, office or mountain chalet.

? A unique look at an iconic location!
