A colour photograph of a landscape in Lanzarote, bathed in warm tones of orange, ochre and yellow. The earth looks dry and sandy, with rolling shapes that seem to glow under the sunlight. The colour palette is intense but natural - a landscape shaped by volcanic origin and solar heat.
Amid these fiery earth tones are a few palm trees, scattered and unruffled. Their dark green silhouettes form a sharp contrast against the light ground and the pale sky above. The trunks are narrow, the crests fan out like drawings on a blank canvas.
There are no buildings, no people, no shadows telling what time it is. Just the silent backdrop of nature and time.
The colours - saturated and shimmering - give the image an almost painterly character. The simplicity of the composition makes it powerful: colour, shape and space do the work.
It is a landscape that does not impose itself, but slowly interacts with you. Warm, empty, full of silence. A place where little happens, yet everything is present.
