NEXT LEVEL SOPHISTICATION for those who love a touch of glam on their wall.

Fire and Ice is one of the most loved imprint out of the Anima Mea series. The series was featured on the cover of Nikon Pro magazine, UK. Everyone who sees this would have the same reaction, "Is it a painting?" The Anima Mea Series may look like a painting, but it is photography in its purest form - there is no digital enhancement. The painterly effect is achieved by using an intricate method of preserving these poppy blossoms and later ‘freezing’ them. I've manipulated the ice by varying the temperature of the water to achieve the different opacity levels of the ice. Then the 'magic' happens at capture. The challenge was to work fast, as the ice melts very quickly. Every image takes about 4 - 10 days to complete as some blooms are preserved until their dying stage.

This piece captures the delicate tension between the extremes of nature. A frozen flower, its edges charred by flame, speaks to the fragile yet powerful dance of life and death, destruction and preservation. The image embodies the quiet yet intense beauty of contrast — the stillness of ice and the fierce passion of fire, forever intertwined.

Accompanied by "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt, the music enhances the piece’s serene yet powerful essence. Its minimalist, ethereal tones reflect the quiet tension between the ice and the fire, inviting you to contemplate the delicate balance of destruction and preservation. Tune in

The Anima Mea series was awarded honourable mention in the International Photography Awards (2014) under the category of Fine art photography. It has also been featured in British VOGUE and on the cover of the Nikon Pro Magazine, UK. A magazine which showcase the work of pro-photographers from all over the world.

“Fire and Ice” is a highly sought-after photography artwork which adorns the walls of private art collectors and commercial spaces in Sydney, Australia.

Royale & Grande
I love these sizes! It’s mesmerizing and makes a big impact in any home or office space. Having these on your wall would transform the photograph into a statement piece, perfect as a striking standalone (esp. with the shimmer that Gold Label Edition prints produce). Ideal for above the couch, bed, mantelpiece, or in a lobby / reception area in any commercial space. I recommend professional framing for these sizes.

Midi
This is my most popular size - many of us would have room for this size. It is fabulous as a standalone piece to hang in your favourite spot. I love leaning this against a wall in hallways, entry or reading nook. You can also use this size as a backdrop, layer it with your plants, vases and blooms or your other favourite trinkets above the mantelpiece. I recommend professional framing for this size.

Striking, intricate and mesmerising

I immediately connected with Fire and Ice when I read your artist statement for the Anima Mea series. I admire the intricacies of this fine art photograph as well as the meaning, the process of how you finally capture this amazing piece. The gold leaf finish is just a genius idea - it makes this piece so alive. I love how it looks different at different times of the day when the light hits the artwork. It is ALIVE! The quality of your work is just unbelievable. Thank you so much for making my space all that more soulful.
