The four elements: Air
One of the four elements: air
For some time now I have been working on a series about the four elements – fire , earth , water and air.
This creates images in which nothing man-made can be seen.
The saying that we need something "like the air we breathe" shows how important air is to us humans. As one of the four elements, it provides us with the oxygen we need to live. Of course, we also need water, the warmth of fire, and the nourishment that the earth provides us. That's why they are called four elements. As you can see from the pictures, it's sometimes impossible to narrow things down to a single element. For "Air," I chose those photos where, in my opinion, the sky plays the dominant role in the image.

The four elements: Earth
Earth should be the most familiar of the four elements to us. We walk on it every day.

The earth—and thus also plants and animals—is probably our most familiar element. We move around on it constantly. But the air should also be very familiar to us, because we move in it. The earth images were created on various continents. Of course, the other elements are also represented in some of the pictures. But I have selected images in which, in my opinion, the earthy element dominates.

The four elements: water
One of the four elements: water in all states of matter

Water is one of the most fascinating things in nature. It behaves differently than all other elements because it does not have its highest density at its coldest point, but rather at +4°C. If this were not the case, all living things would die in cold water. In the gaseous state, the boundary between water and air is fluid. As with all elements, my wife Ursula and I seek motifs for "water" that are more abstract and have a certain mystery about them.

The four elements: fire
One of the four elements: fire – captured in Iceland during the volcanic eruption at Litli-Hrutur

Fire challenged me. Because fire is almost always man-made. In some places on the planet, gases escape and burn. And then there are volcanoes. The images in this series are from the 2023 volcanic eruption near Litli-Hrutur in Iceland. As always, my goal is not to depict something, but to find the artistic interpretation that nature offers us. Together with my wife Ursula, I seek motifs that are more abstract and have a certain mystery about them.

Kind of Art
When the boundaries between painting and photography, between reality and fiction, disappear. More of an art are images that appear before my inner eye like dream worlds and develop step by step.
What if painting and photography merge? I don't paint with a brush, but I intervene in my photographs, making them more dream worlds than reality. It's an experiment in which I intuitively manipulate and process my photos. Much of this process is accidental. The result doesn't have to have anything to do with the original image; it should convey vibrations and emotions.

The Power of the Elements
Powerful images from nature without anything man-made – The Power of the Elements.
Powerful.
Quiet.
Loud.
Tender.
Fragile.
Monumental.
Empty.
Excessive.
In this gallery, I've compiled photographs that visualize the qualities of nature. None of the images contain anything man-made. I also deliberately omitted any animal photos from the selection. Simply pure nature. No postcard-style romanticism, but raw, angular photos with the untamed energy of all the elements: fire, water, air, earth. And plants that belong to the earth. These are transcendent photographs. Beyond the visible, they resonate with something within us. For me, hidden within this lies the pulse of the Creator, with which I can harmonize. This brings peace and strength.
