Explore this dreamlike black and white photo of the sun shining through the sculpture of a “water spirit” (génie de l’eau) one of many decorations of the Pont Alexandre III (Alexander Bridge) in Paris. Built for the world fair in 1900 and to memorize the Franco-Russian alliance it features numerous sculptures ranging from fames to nymphs.
Here, the sun is shining through this “water spirit”. So there is an association of two of the four elements: fire and water. Then there is the earth and the air, the latter shown by the birds and the clouds, “connected” through the Eiffel Tower. But then the “water spirit” is a “spirit” so it is connected to the air. But the statue as such is also standing on the earth. And the earth is illuminated by the sun, the fire. So it looks like there is some sort of a unification of the four elements. But this all happens behind the fencing and so in a “different” world, away from us. On the other hand there also is a geometry which kind of draws us into the scene.
Shining Through is a photograph of a surreal scene in which the four elements, fire, water, air, earth seem to associate.
I’ve made this photograph in black and white so that it best conveys the emotions of this surreal scene.

This is a superior pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag. It has a very matte surface with a fine understated texture. Therefore, black and white and color photos print without reflections. In addition, premium printers ensure finest tonal graduation and emphasize every detail. Extremely long-lasting color that is true to the original.
These high quality Fine Art Paper Prints are produced with at least 0.39″ (1cm) of white border to ensure cutting edges. They are designed to be placed in a glass frame with a paper mat (passe-partout), which can be purchased separately.
State-of-the-art inkjet printing for perfect results. It stands out through its rich colors, deep, dark tones, and strong contrasts. The high resolution and precise hues give therefore your canvas picture a detailed appearance. The colors on the printed canvas do not run and are therefore very durable.
The image is fully reproduced on the front of the canvas. This means the entire image is visible and digitally extended to seamlessly wrap on the sides (gallery wrap).
High-quality stretcher frame give it shape (1.57″ (4cm) deep), just like a traditional assembly of an oil painting. Furthermore, reinforced corners prevent warping. This makes tightening or refitting the canvas later unnecessary. In addition, there are no staples or ugly lines visible on the sides (very important)

Take advantage of the latest printing technology that satisfies the highest demands! A high-resolution fine art print set behind acrylic glass reproduces the image with an especially wide spectrum of colors and impressive brilliance. And to achieve the best longevity, we seal the printed photograph behind acrylic glass with permanently elastic silicone. The sophisticated technology ensures perfect results for images of any size.

In addition, solvent-free inkjet printing is a proven printing technology from the field of fine arts. The pigment particles suspended in the liquid ink combined with a selected paper that guarantees the best detail and color reproduction therefore create brilliant colors.
