Burma/Myanmar – Chindwin, im Dorf Htheim Pin

This striking portrait captures the deep emotions and wisdom etched into the face of an elderly woman. Her weathered skin, with fine lines and expressive features, tells a story of resilience and life experience. The soft, diffused lighting accentuates her gentle yet profound gaze, inviting viewers to contemplate her rich narrative. Subtle hues of gray and blue reflect the tranquility and depth of her character, while her tousled hair adds a touch of authenticity to the image. The blurred background serves to focus attention solely on her, creating an intimate connection with the observer.
This painting would beautifully complement a variety of interior settings, particularly in living rooms, studies, or galleries where a sense of history and character is desired. It can create a calming atmosphere, making it suitable for spaces intended for relaxation or reflection. Incorporating this artwork in a warm-toned room can enhance its emotional depth, while a minimalist environment can showcase the portrait's profound simplicity.

All photos of this collection are available in 3 formats and can be purchased on matt or glossy photo paper laminated on aluminium composite plate. Yussof Knauss manages what characterizes a really good photographer: each picture contains more than can be seen at first: It tells a little story. It gives us insights into a strange, exotic world, into a difficult, often hard life and shows how calm and dignity people master it. This is what the images of this series are about: the dignity of man. Yussof Knauss won the German Photo Book Award in 2016 with the same name picture band.
