About the artwork

This photo of a European eagle owl, which I took with great love for this majestic breed, captures the special strength and beauty of this impressive owl in a unique way. The eagle owl, one of Europe's largest owls, is known for its imposing appearance, with its powerful gaze, impressive ears and robust plumage. In this photo, the bird's intense focus comes to life perfectly, its sharp eyes piercing its surroundings as if capturing every detail.

I waited for this moment with great care and patience, seeking the right light, background and composition to capture the essence of the eagle owl. The texture of its feathers, from the deep brown and gold tones to the contrasts of black and white, makes the picture both impressive and sophisticated. What makes this image so special is the way the eagle owl exudes its natural strength and elegance, without sacrificing its mysterious, almost magical appearance.

My love for this breed stems from my deep appreciation of the primal wisdom and undeniable strength this bird exudes. The European eagle owl is a symbol of mystery and freedom, and by taking this photograph, I hope to capture not only its physical beauty, but also the immense respect I feel for this magnificent bird of prey.

This photo is not just a snapshot; it is a tribute to an animal that has managed to hold its own in European nature over the centuries, an animal that has such an impressive balance between wildness and serenity. It is a piece of nature that I have captured with love, hoping to share the power and splendour of the European eagle owl with others.
