Piece description from the artist
To make the best of my final days living in Snoqualmie, Washington. I have made it my mission to make as much art as possible from its awe-inspiring landscape. One of my favorite places within 15 minutes is Rattlesnake Lake. And, in this image of this magical lake, I again make the tree I called Dendron Solus a focal point. I composed the image in such a way as to encourage your eyes to move throughout the scene.
As the sun began to set behind Rattlesnake Mountain, a nicely formed sun flare appeared to punctuate the moment. Although this is not one of my most contrast or color-driven images, it is one of my preferred ones. An image that I feel documents this location's unique natural beauty.
Location: Rattlesnake Lake, WA – 2024
Santos "Sanzei" López is a fine art photographer for whom the camera is the culmination of a lifelong visual journey. His artistic practice was ignited in childhood with a simple 35mm film camera, a gift from his mother, who became his first subject and instilled in him the belief that photography could capture profound joy and connection.
This foundation evolved through decades of work as a graphic artist and graffiti writer, disciplines that permanently shaped his eye for composition, bold geometry, and layered texture. In 2015, he made a definitive commitment to photography, channeling this multidisciplinary vision into a focused pursuit of the definitive image.
Sanzei’s work transforms the contrasting landscapes of South Florida’s coasts and the Pacific Northwest into contemplative art. He approaches beaches, cityscapes, and mountain vistas as complex graphic arrangements, seeking the precise interplay of light, shadow, and form that transcends documentation to evoke feeling and narrative. His fine art pieces are featured on leading platforms like TurningArt.
