Early on a Tuesday morning, the beautiful tranquil medieval village of Corenno Plinio on Lake Como, Italy, awakens. Narrow streets, old worn stairs, tall houses with small windows and a few balconies.

And deserted streets wherever you look, except for a single older woman climbing slowly up the steep steps early on.

Here you will find many old buildings with original details and no bars, restaurants or other tourist attractions. A gem!

'Awakening (3)' is a new artwork in my collection 'Lost Cities'.

General info on this artwork

This artwork is a digital transformation of a photograph. Printed on order with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm).

I start with one or more photographs made by myself to create these artworks. Then I use digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic textures and effects. I do this until there is a surreal atmosphere that touches me and tells the story I want to tell you.

Growing A Liveable City Cities drowning in concrete and smog people drowning in loneliness, trapped between steel and glass, can't even see a green horizon anymore. What if I could paint the city in cheerful colours, plant trees as tall as skyscrapers, have concrete foundations intertwined with roots, have leaves be a canopy against the bright sun and give shelter to millions of birds.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
