Whether it is a cloudy or sunny day, open spaces in a forest have something magical about them. And the denser the forest, the greater the magic when you suddenly find yourself in a place where an abundance of light welcomes you.

As soon as you approach the clearing, you ask yourself: who or what else is in that clearing ? Am I the only one, so is it my place for a while, or do I share it with others?

And then standing in the middle of the sun and looking around, suddenly the surrounding forest becomes the magical, mysterious place. You can't see what's beyond the first row of trees, whether there are eyes staring at you expectantly, wondering if you will leave their spot again soon…

'Into The Light' is a new artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

General info on this artwork

This artwork 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. Available in any size you desire !

Maximum size is 200Hx150W cm / 80Hx60W inches. The work can be printed in any size 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 effects, until a surrealistic atmosphere is created 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. But of course available in any size you desire !

'Into The Light' is also available on Fine Art America

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…
