The first time I went to Lofoten Islands I literally fell in love with its quaint fishing villages, with the traditional red wooden cabins called Rorbu.
Our cities, so frenetic and chaotic, force us to live very distant from a more human-sized model of life.
That's why I wanted, through this photograph, to convey two sensations: the tranquility of these fairy-tale villages and the majestic wild nature.
One of the most beautiful things to do at Lofoten Islands is to admire the majestic mountains reflected in the cold sea at sunrise or sunset, a symmetry that leaves you astonished.
In these places I perceived the perfection of nature and the harmonious coexistence with human settlement, an increasingly rare aspect.
I hope that those who look at the photograph will feel projected into that fairytale dimension and feel grateful to nature, so beautiful and perfect as it happened to me.
Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
