A single person stands in the shallow water, trouser legs rolled up, face turned towards the setting sun. The surf roars, the sky glows in soft shades of orange and pink, while the light dances on the surface of the water. The scene looks like a modern interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich's romantic painting "Two Men Contemplating the Moon" - only here it is not the moon, but the powerful sun over the Atlantic that invites us to pause for a moment.
This picture was taken at Praia do Guincho, one of the most unspoilt beaches near Cascais, not far from Lisbon. The place is famous among surfers - and an insider tip for anyone looking for peace, space and pure nature. The footprints in the sand that lead to the sea tell of a quiet moment of retreat, of contemplation - and perhaps also of longing.
Ideal for anyone who wants to see art and nature united. This picture brings a deeply emotional note to modern rooms, inspiring and calming at the same time. A work for quiet thoughts and strong feelings.
