About the artwork

During my travels, I finally came upon a place that had been high on my list for years: the Stelvio Pass, also known as the Passo dello Stelvio. I had seen this iconic mountain pass in the Italian Alps many times on TV. But nothing could have prepared me for its impressive beauty when I was actually there.

The Stelvio Pass is known for its 48 hairpin bends that weave through the rugged mountain landscape like a winding line. The height differences, the imposing rock formations and the silence of the mountains made for an experience I won't soon forget. The scenery is breathtaking and almost surreal, like travelling through a living painting.

What particularly touched me was how the colours of the landscape came together: the warm tones of the mountains, the white snow on the peaks and the looming clouds over the pass. The contrast between the natural forms and the man-made roads is a perfect balance between adventure and tranquillity. This place is a paradise not only for cyclists and motorcyclists, but also for anyone who loves pure, untouched nature.

I took this photo to capture the impressive beauty of the Stelvio Pass and share it with others. The piece fits perfectly into interiors with a modern, Scandinavian or industrial style. Hang it in your living room, bedroom or office and be inspired daily by this unique mountain pass.
