Gathering in morning haze,
tree after tree emerges
from the veils of the night

It is early morning on a beautiful, sunny but damp spring day. Sunlight warms the forest floor, patches of fog rise and float between the trees. Because of the moving veils of haze, the trees seem to be moving, appearing out of the mist, as if they are gathering for their morning meeting.

Gathering (2) is an artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

General info on this artwork

'Gathering (2)' is a digital transformation of a photograph, printed 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.

Maximum size is 225Wx150H cm / 90Wx60H inches. I can deliver prints in any size up to that maximum. So please let me know the size you would prefer.

To create a transformed photograph like the one you see here, I start with one or more photos made by myself. After that, through digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic effects, I create a surrealistic atmosphere that touches me and tells the story I want to tell.

Prints are available, ask for a quote or contact me through a message. Prints are also available in my Saatchi Art portfolio at the artwork page.

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…
