  • Description

  • Harald Altmaier is a German-born photographer and florist. His experience as a bespoke floral designer in Australia with Kevin O’Neill and then as creative director of one of England’s most established florists, Pulbrook & Gould, is the foundation for these exuberant artworks. A master of Fine Art Photography, Harald not only curates every aspect of these highly detailed compositions, but his tableaux are also carefully staged scenes that tell a thought-provoking narrative through visual cues and symbolism which imbue the work with a sense of awe and mystery that leaves the viewer wanting more and looking deeper.The result is large scale, cinematic visual storytelling that incorporates floristry, colour and iconography in the same way as the early Dutch still life paintings.

“Eternal Bloom” is a stunning photographic exploration of grandeur, style and elegance which is rooted in the tradition of early 17th century Northern European still life painting. The art of floristry. The art of photography; of capturing a moment and of turning that moment into a monument. Altmaier’s towering photographic tableaux of his floral creations bloom from that Northern European still life painting.They invite the viewer to stay still, to look very closely and to luxuriate in the vitality of their living nature, from ephemeral to eternal as we are drawn into the very heart of each flower.
