The Solitude of Beauty is an embossed hardcover photographic book, with the cover printed in Geltex paper, with dimensions 22 x 31 cm (8,6 x 12,2 inches).
In its 176 pages of 150gr GardaPat Kiara paper are 90 photos taken in Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Norway.
A photographic work that goes deep into the cold, the beauty and the solitude of northern Europe. Through black and white, between artistic and travel photograhy, it shows the most poetic part of the cold and the solitude that beauty can bring.
"Without a certain route but with the idea of going on secondary roads, my dog Arun and I were preparing to travel in Northern Europe during the autumn of 2016. My initial thought eventually became a road trip from Spain to the most northly point of Europe that can be reached by driving, Nordkapp, Norway.
Two months and 16000 km traveled, living in my van in temperatures up to -7º. Without a concrete plan, exploring big capitals and small villages, dream forests and desolate places by the cold, plain lands painted in ocher and impressive ords that make you feel insignicant.
This is how The Solitude of Beauty was born, a photographic work about the essence of cold, beauty and the solitude that surrounds it in Northern Europe."
