It is the first week of November, more than 3 weeks before that terrible day. And the first advertisements are already appearing.

So it is high time that I post again the works from the series Colorful Days....

If, with this mini series, I manage to persuade just 1 person to buy less this year, or maybe even not to participate in the madness called Black Friday, the earth will have made a small victory....

The series 'Colorful Days' is an indictment of the greed for buying. The unbridled consumption that many people, living in so-called 'developed countries', practice on a daily basis.

The works ask the viewer the question, 'What have you done to preserve my color, to restore colors where they are fading, to bring more color into the gray world that people create around them and where there is no place for nature anymore ?'

They are a call to boycott the increasing number of 'black days' like Black Friday, days that further fuel humanity's consumerism. So they are telling you that living with nature, preserving and restoring nature, is only possible if Western man consumes significantly less. And what is consumed must be produced colorfully, that is, in harmony with nature.

General info on this artwork

The artwork 'Colorful Morning' is a work in my collection 'Secret Places' and part of the small series 'Colorful Days'. It 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). The work comes in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. But of course, it is also available as Open Edition print, without signature and not numbered. Available in any size you desire !

Maximum size is 225Wx150H cm / 90Wx60H inches, any size available up to that maximum. So please let me know the size you would prefer.

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.

Prints of 'Colorful Morning' are available, please contact me for a quote. Available in any size you desire ! Prices starting at €55 / US$60.
And available in my Saatchi Art portfolio at the artwork page. But of course I can upload a limited edition in any other size.

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…
