Artwork Description

About the photo - In far Eastern Europe in winter, when I stepped out of the train into this station, I thought I'd landed in the late 19th Century. A dimly lit art nouveau station with two enormous arched steel roofs. International sleeper trains were blowing smoke (not steam) from what I assume were heater chimneys. Mechanics walked along the trains hitting the steel wheels with large spanners creating a really distinctive sound that echoed through the station. The whole mix of smell (oil, coal, steel), sound (those spanners), and sights (people moving about with their suitcases in a strangely quiet shuffle).. it really was like being in a different era. Lviv station even has a 1st class waiting hall in the style of a English gentleman's club. The photograph is best suited in black and white and has some grain.

Print size - This photograph comes as a fine art print at 61cm x 41cm and has no white/black borders. It is available in a range of sizes (smaller and larger) including 76cm x 51cm ($400) - please message me if you would like a different size. Printed to order and inspected before sending.

Framing – Can be delivered fully framed using the Bluethumb custom framing option (includes glass and matt board).

Happy to discuss if you would like something different!

Artist Bio

Born in The Netherlands and raised in Australia, I have a passion for capturing the way I see life unfolding on this spectacularly diverse planet we live on.

I dabble in various photographic styles, however street photography (without any specific definition) has been my emphasis since 2015. My photography focuses on combining aspects of culture, history, architecture, symmetry, the natural world, and the human condition. There’s no shortage of unique combinations and variety of human behaviour.

Capturing society in all its curious forms is a life-long project. In 2019 I made a decision to upend my life and really focus on evolving my photography; I spent 18 months (6 months longer than expected thanks to you-know-what) exploring Europe alone making photos, some of which have gained international recognition.
