Originals in this selection, Symbolism.
Meaning in the detail
Symbolist photography means more than it shows: a hand, a bowl, a mirror turn into signs. If you want symbolist photography for sale, you get pictures you can interpret without there being a fixed solution.
Symbolism works with objects and gestures that point to something larger: time, transience, hope. Photography sets them deliberately, often in strict composition and with careful lighting. Sometimes a single object, a key or a twig, is enough to set off an entire story.

A picture to linger with
Hang a symbolist photo where people sit, for example beside the reading chair or in the study. Whoever stands quietly in front of it discovers details. Dimmed light strengthens the mysterious effect.
Exploring material and process
Symbolist pictures often work with raw materials such as paper, ink or color; digital means are possible as well. Check edition and size, and note that 500 to 1,000 euro plays a frequent role.
