Sailing vessels that appear like ghost ships from another world, half ruined piers from the 1920s that tell their own stories.

Forgotten umbrellas and fences that no longer serve a purpose in front of the ocean, fishing nets looking like the remnants of human beings.

Frozen seascapes captured in the rattling cold or blurred horizons during tropical rainfalls - they remind us of paintings, exuding their own enchantment.

People wandering in bizarre landscapes, giving dimension to the vastness, leaving only their footprints that will be washed away soon. 

All these impressions unveil the transience of life and can be an inspiration for the contemplation of… space and time.

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 vastness." Christof Wittlinger, Civil Engineer
