About the artwork

This impressive photograph shows a single, intensely luminous poppy flower, whose delicate, red-orange petals appear almost transparent in the radiant backlight. The sun penetrates the fine structure of the petals and emphasises every vein, every unevenness and every shadow with poetic precision. The camera captures the flower from below - an unusual, almost reverent perspective that makes the poppy appear majestic and vulnerable at the same time. The background remains blurred and softly green, allowing the luminous flower to take centre stage.

Poppies (Papaver rhoeas) are among the best-known wild flowers in Central Europe. They are not only botanically interesting, but also deeply interwoven with symbolism - from a flower of remembrance to a symbol of transience and hope. This photo was taken in a local garden at full bloom in early summer.

The fine detail of the flower structure, which is emphasised by the backlight, is particularly impressive. The play of light creates an exciting interplay of transparency, shadow and colour intensity, which lends the picture a warm, almost meditative atmosphere. The picture is not only an aesthetic delight, but also a call to open oneself to the magic of nature - and to recognise the beauty in simplicity.

This motif is ideal for large-format wall pictures in landscape format - whether as a high-quality print on canvas, aluminium dibond or acrylic glass. It fits perfectly in light-flooded rooms, surgeries or living areas with nature-based or minimalist furnishings. This picture also has great potential as an atmospheric greetings card or poster for the summer.
