With his limited photo editions, photographer Peter Holen proves that the depiction of reality can appear exceedingly artistic when special means of design are taken into account. For 20 years now, Holen has been professionally engaged in floral art photography, depicting flowers in matter-of-fact imagery and black and white. Details and the beauty of individual blossoms are particularly expressed through the play of light and shadow and the emphasis on certain contours, making them appear like miracles of nature.

The inspiration of the monochrome still lifes is the German photographer Karl Blossfeldt, who is a famous representative of the New Objectivity. By depicting plants in architectural composition and detail, the photographer wanted to help reawaken a sense of nature. Peter Holen carries this thought into the here and now and wants to create a new awareness for the uniqueness of our nature with his art.

His minimalist style convinces collectors all over the world. In addition, his purist works are also appreciated by architects who furnish commercial and private interiors with Holen's photographs.
