A master of light-playing, the artist helps the viewer to make out tiny structures such as stamens, for example. From a certain angle, they will seem like little men, gathered in colourful groups. The almost unreal beauty of these oversized flowers stimulates the imagination, including the olfactory one, thus sublimating the scents of the plants that decorate the spaces of the Botanical Garden in Bucharest," the release reads.The photos can be seen until June 30, daily, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.Born in Salzburg in 1961, Norbert Kopf studied and worked as a bank clerk. He is also a trainer in the field of creativity and author of books. He carried out various projects in countries such as Switzerland, Japan, Germany and others. Since 2013, he has been a freelance photographer and gardener. He lives and works in Salzburg.
