Artwork description:

IN THE BIRCH STILLNESS
Part of the “Blaue Blume” series, "In the Birch Stillness" draws inspiration from the sensibility of Romantic painting, seeking to evoke an emotional and poetic resonance rather than simply document a landscape.

Captured in the untouched woodlands of Finnish Lapland, this image presents a quiet birch grove, through which a subtle glimmer of water emerges in the background — almost like a memory surfacing.
The scene is enveloped in a soft, dreamlike stillness, suspended between reality and inner vision.

To achieve the painterly quality characteristic of this series, I used a combination of intentional camera movement (ICM) and double exposure. The second layer — a custom-made texture — was crafted using macro shots of elements within the scene itself, blending the photographic surface with tactile impressions, almost like brushstrokes on canvas.

The color palette is partially desaturated, dominated by muted greens, warm earth tones, and pale whites — reinforcing the sense of calm, distance, and faded memory. This chromatic restraint allows the atmosphere to breathe, inviting the viewer to linger, observe, and feel.

“Blaue Blume” is a visual meditation on longing, mystery, and the ineffable beauty of nature — echoing the Romantic ideal of art as a bridge between the visible world and the inner one.
