Portfolio – Tree Artwork
How my interest in Tree Artwork began
It started on an ordinary day in autumn. There was nothing planned. I took photos like I always did… read more.

Woodland Poetry (14)
In Woodland Poetry are close-up images of forests. I zoom in on specific elements to show how much beauty you can find in the woods. Each photograph reveals intricate details of trees and their branches, twigs and leaves. In a way, that is both abstract and evocative. With a touch of artistry and poetry. A bit like a painting. Contrary to traditional landscape photography, which often showcases grand and sweeping vistas. Get lost in the images and see the ordinary in a new light. Like the tree's rough and textured bark, which reminds of the skin of some ancient beast. Or the leaves rustling in the breeze, hiding mysteries within their shadows. And the branches, reaching skywards like bony fingers, clinging to life. The woods are more than trees. It is a place of mystery and power. A place where anything can happen and where anything is possible. It is a celebration and a lament. A celebration of the beauty of nature. And a lament for the destruction of its beauty. Its words can be both comforting and challenging, both soothing and stirring. In its mightiest form, Woodland Poetry is a source of inspiration and a call to action. To encourage us to be mindful of our impact on the natural world. And to work to protect it for future generations.

Whispering Trees (16)
In Whispering Trees, discover the natural elegance of trees in landscapes. I try to unearth the wonders that lie within the trees and their surroundings. The tree is a marvel of individuality that bears its own personality and shape. Its brothers and sisters differ, as one leaf from another. No two are alike in their twists and turns. Yet all own a singular character that elevates the landscapes they inhabit. For those with the eyes to see, these mighty giants are not only an accompaniment to the earth beneath them. But the very essence of the scenery they grace. They tower above, proud sentinels casting long, cryptic shadows upon the land. It is their unique personalities that make them indispensable. Their entity paints the tapestry of the world. They lend strength and presence to every vista and landscape they grace. The landscape is an integral part too. It provides context and background information and tells a story about the trees. The landscapes are as different as the trees themselves. They are awe-inspiring and a sight to behold. There are rolling hills and verdant meadows, windswept moors, and craggy peaks. Each one is a canvas painted with the masterful brush of nature. Whispering Trees gives you serenity, peace, and a sense of adventure. Escape to a place far from the chaos of the world.

Ominous Secrets (16)
In Ominous Secrets, the veil of fog descends upon the forests and landscapes like a shroud. It creeps, it crawls, and it devours the light. The once vibrant terrain gets wrapped in a cloak of menacing grey. It turns the world into a murky sight and lends a sense of mystery and unease to the air. I like the eeriness of fog and trees combined, which reminds me of those old horror films. With my photos, I want to bring this feeling to life. The softness of the fog balances the strength and firmness of the trees. Who are the guardians of the woods. As your eyes wander through the dimness, you notice the tension between the two. The mist is a symbol of suspense, stuck between illusion and reality. What is imaginary? What is real? Amidst the dense veil of fog, you spot malevolent beasts and creatures. They lurk with ravenous hunger. Their eyes gleam in the ethereal mist, seeking out unsuspecting prey. The still air filled with rasping breaths and whispers of impending doom. A shiver runs down your spine. The forest is silent. As if waiting with bated breath for the inevitable attack of these vicious forces. Ominous Secrets blurs the line between nightmare and reality. Those who face their fears and confront the unknown can hope to overcome the darkness. And emerge victorious.

Lonely Entities (7)
In Lonely Entities, the tree is the main point. It is all about its striking individuality. Trees have always been symbols of beauty, life, and strength. They provide us with fruit, shade, and oxygen. And they are also magnificent creatures in their own right. Some trees we encounter stand alone. Isolated from their brothers and sisters as if abandoned. Those trees are often the subject of paintings, poems, and photographs. The loneliness of a solitary tree is often emphasized by its surroundings. With a vast and barren landscape, the tree takes on an even more lonely and desolate appearance. Whatever the tree's surroundings. Even the most beautiful and marvellous entities can be lonely and isolated. Loneliness is a feeling that many people struggle with. And it can be especially poignant when we see it reflected in the natural world. A solitary tree is not only a symbol of loneliness, but it is also a symbol of resilience and perseverance. Despite its isolation, the tree continues to grow and thrive. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can still find the strength to endure. Lonely Entities might have the power to evoke deep emotions in you. Be it a mist-shrouded tree, a tree basked in sunlight, or bathed in moonlight. Solitary trees have a timeless beauty that is both haunting and awe-inspiring.
