The fields are covered with a thin layer of snow. The world waits in stillness for the night to come...

During a winter vacation in Denmark, years before we lived there, we drove through the beautiful rolling, snowy landscape of the Thy region in the late afternoon.

Just after we left a village, a fantastically beautiful view across the fields unfolded on a bend in the road.

It was so quiet that afternoon, just before sunset... No wind, no birds, no cars... Nothing.
As if the world had been completely abandoned.

For us, it might have lasted for hours.... But the beautiful moments of a sunset here always last only a few minutes. A few minutes of audible silence and intense colors.

‘Winter Sunset (10)’ is a new artwork in my collections 'Evening Falls' and 'Wavy Fields'.
It is based on a photo that I made in the fields near the village of Nors, Thy region, Denmark.

The artwork 'Winter Sunset (10)' 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.

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 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…
