Description of the Artwork “Veiled identity”
My photo is heavily inspired by René Magritte's iconic painting "Le Fils de l'Homme". It shows a person in a smart suit and hat standing in front of a neutral wall. The person's face is obscured by an unusual object that seems surreal and unmediated - a typical feature of Magritte's work. In my photo, I replaced the painting's central motif, the green apple, with a pear to create a modern interpretation. The object hangs seemingly weightlessly in front of the person's face, creating a feeling of unreality and mystery. The color palette of the photo is not as restrained and contrasts with the simple but effective aesthetic of Magritte's original. The lighting emphasizes the texture of the clothing and background, while the object in the foreground remains sharp and detailed. The overall image conveys an atmosphere of mystery, challenging the viewer to ponder the relationship between

Franz Hein, Germany
My name is Franz Hein, born in 1965 in Ehrstädt, now Sinsheim, and I spent a lot of time there in my youth with my photographer grandfather. I currently live in the north of Germany near the Dutch border in the far west. Influenced by my grandfather, I came into contact with photography at a very early age and pursued it as a hobby for a long time, with technology and creative development improving as I got older. Over the years I've photographed a lot of things, but never really felt satisfied with my work. Since I taught myself photography, it made sense to study the works of various artists and art movements in photography. So I finally found my current passion for not only creating simple photographs, but I find myself and my works predominantly in conceptual black and white photography, which had its heyday in the 60s to the end of the 70s. The often very abstract features of my works reflect today's zeitgeist in a certain way. Some colorful abstract photographs also found their way into my online gallery, but the focus is on the monochrome design with contrasts as well as the play with light and shadow and the reduction to the essentials.
