El Teide I
Mountain wall art from Tenerife, where volcanic crater and cloud meet
Tenerife is my happy place, and this moment on Mount Teide captures exactly why I return. The temperature drops as you climb, and suddenly you're walking above an endless sea of clouds that stretches to the horizon. It's a complete separation from everything happening below.
The volcanic mountain rises dark and solid through the white, while the sky holds this particular quality of light I've only found at altitude: clear blue above, warm orange where the sun meets the cloud layer. There's a stillness here that's hard to find anywhere else.
I made this image as an invitation to step away, to take that fresh breath of cold mountain air, to experience what it feels like when a thick layer of clouds acts as a buffer between you and the rest of the world. It's about perspective, both physically and mentally.

The palette of El Teide I
Volcanic black, bright cloud white, clear mountain blue, and one warm band of orange at the horizon. The contrast is crisp, and that small strip of warmth keeps the print from tipping cold.
Where to place the El Teide I print in your home
El Teide I asks for a little distance. Hang it where the room lets you step back, over a sofa, at the end of a hallway, behind a desk, and the cloud sea does its work of putting space between you and everything below.
How El Teide I was made
This is a direct color photograph rather than an ICM or multiple-exposure piece. Its abstraction comes from altitude, scale, and atmosphere: the mountain, cloud layer, and horizon reduce the landscape into strong bands of light, shadow, and space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the prints limited edition?
At the moment, prints are offered as open editions rather than limited runs. Each print is produced individually and made to order, with close attention to materials, scale, and presentation.
The goal is a work that feels right for the image and the space it lives in, not artificial scarcity. If you're looking for something exclusive, we can have a conversation about individual solutions.
Are the prints signed?
Prints are generally not signed. Signing is possible on request and can be discussed individually. Please note that this may affect production time and, in some cases, the overall cost.
How long does it take to receive a print?
Prints are made to order through reliable print partners in different regions. Production and delivery usually take two to four weeks, depending on the format and your location. If timing matters for a specific situation, get in touch and I'll do my best to help.
What is your return policy?
Since prints are produced individually and made to order, returns are not usually possible. However, if there is a production issue or damage during shipping, I will make sure it's resolved. If something doesn't feel right, please reach out and we'll take it from there.
