About the artwork

In this impressive black and white photograph, the fragile elegance of a poppy blossom unfolds in a completely new way. Without colour, the image draws attention entirely to the fine structures of the petals, which are illuminated by the light. The delicate folds and veins appear almost drawn, while the backlighting reveals a fascinating interplay of light and shadow.

Looking under the blossom gives it something sublime and vulnerable at the same time. The delicate calyx almost seems to float, while the background is softly blurred, focussing fully on the organic form. The absence of colour makes the photograph particularly poetic - it emphasises the essentials: structure, form, light.

The poppy (Papaver rhoeas) has always symbolised memory, peace and the beauty of the moment. In its monochrome depiction, it takes on an additional depth - it appears still, almost timeless. This photo was taken in the garden in natural sunlight. The moment was fleeting - the low sun only briefly shone through the petal at this angle, bathing it in dramatic light.

The photo invites contemplation and has a particularly strong effect in restrained, quiet rooms. It is ideal for high-quality fine art prints on matt paper or aluminium dibond in medium to large landscape format. It comes into its own particularly well in minimalist or meditative room concepts - whether in private living areas, practices or exhibition spaces. This picture has a special effect as an artistic element or as a gift with symbolic character.
