A photo of the cap of a mushroom (a beautiful specimen from the genus Lepiota), taken from right above it by Anuscka, merged with a NASA/Hubble photo of the Cat's Eye nebula and in the background a circular transformation of an abstract photo I made of a sunset over the North Sea.

More colorful than this, mushrooms will probably never get, I think....

As autumn progresses and our garden was kept moist by regular showers, more and more mushrooms in a large variety appear.

Long periods of neglect by the previous owner have great benefits for nature: it has been allowed to run its course, broken branches, downed trees and fallen leaves provide rich fertile soil for fungi.

'Cat's Eye' is an artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

Cat's Eye - What is an earthly mushroom on the scale of a galaxy? Less than a speck of dust on your windowsill... Not even the size of an atom in the infinite expanse of the oceans. - Surrealistic fine art photography by Jacob Berghoef

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.

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…
