Portrait of a dead flower.
'Dead', but full of life, powerful, beautiful, tough, full of character, inspiring.
A friend gave me the dead flowers from her garden. I photographed them in my studio in front of a canvas painted in deep blue tones by myself. With natural daylight, which, from the side, shows the details and structures beautifully.
This light is also called 'Rembrandt light'. Painters in the 17th century - like the 'Dutch Master' Rembrandt - were already inspired by this light.
With its brown, beige, taupe, aubergine and deep blue hues, this photo combines beautifully with copper, bronze, gold and brass elements in your interior. Deep, warm red can also be an exciting, beautiful combination.
You can also find the photo in black and white in my collection.
This art photo is suitable for large format reproduction in museum quality. The artwork contains a lot of details that will make the viewer wonder.
The work fits in a chic, classic, monumental interior as well as in a tough, modern, industrial interior.
