The Horizon is the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet.In ourselves, it is the metaphysical boundary between reality and our dreams, aspirations and desires.
The images allow us to observe something so simple yet elusive. No matter how far one travels towards the Horizon,it always remains beyond our grasp - although our hearts can see beyond, our vision stops and rests on the Horizon.
Glitter of falling light merging with the waves on the metallic sea is an invitation to dive into the endless space.
The fluid colors of twilight create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
Horizons offer us a glimpse into a moment in time, a perspective that is always the same yet paradoxically always changing - captured in light.
The ocean is the origin of life on the Earth giving us an anticipation of eternity - in that we find the source of our existence.
Samir Malik

Reference texts of some collectors
"Andrea is a magician who enchants spaces with her paintings. With my painting, in the delicate colors of the early morning, the vastness of the ocean comes into my bathroom." Paul Ottl, architect
“Our image is between painting and photography, it is between dream and reality, between joy and sadness. I admire how Andrea manages to capture places that are seemingly everyday, that are on our doorstep - like Lake Starnberg - so that they get this expression, this depth. Once, when we were at Lake Starnberg, my son "found" the painting. We were right where Andrea must have been standing when she took it. What a joy he had! And somehow we all then saw Andrea's picture, it simply superimposed itself over the real landscape in front of us.” Heidi Reber, PR Manager
"With Andrea Altemüller's large-format photos, the world is always at home with me. What I have always enjoyed on my travels are wide horizons. Andrea's images manage to capture and transport the magic of such moments. When I look at her photo of Lake Starnberg, I feel like I'm there. I have been there many times and have wonderful memories of it, also of the people who were there, some of whom are no longer alive. I am comforted by the incredible peace that the picture radiates. Another photo beams me into the big wide world of Brazil and makes me feel like I've been to that landscape many times." Till Winkler, Product Designer
"With your pictures I associate the beauty of nature, the peace after a hectic day and the longing for the distance." Christof Wittlinger, Civil Engineer
