Originals in this selection, Color, Metaphysical, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Formats from 105 x 80 to 80 x 120 cm.
Luminous stillness
Color in metaphysical photography looks artificial and just right: a rose-gray sky, an ocher building, a shadow in deep blue. You can find metaphysical color photographs for sale at 500 to 1,000 euro here, with scenes that seem painted.
When color is added, the emptiness gains a temperature. Clear, flat tones set architecture and shadow against each other. The sky becomes part of the set, not a backdrop. Photo paper renders this calm with fine gradations.

Room for breadth
Hang the picture in a room that has breadth itself: a dining room, a hallway, a loft. A free wall reinforces the impression of emptiness and stillness. A slim light frame lets the surface breathe.
Before buying
Ask whether the motif was photographed on location or built, and inquire about edition, paper and signature. With colors, watch lightfastness. It helps to match the wall color to one tone in the picture, such as the ocher or the gray-blue. The picture then does not look imposed but like a natural part of the room.
