About this artwork

I made this image at Rietvlei Dam, south of Pretoria, late on a winter afternoon as the light was failing. The tree was ordinary - bare, leafless, standing alone in flat grassland. Nothing about it demanded attention.
Then I folded it.
What emerged from that single mirror was something I hadn't placed there - a cathedral, a creature, a presence that had been waiting inside the bark and branches all along. The warm amber of the dying light became… something sacred. The silhouette, which had been just a tree moments before, became something else entirely.
This is what Forms Beneath is about. Not invention. Discovery. The forms were always there - hidden, as if deliberately, for the reward of a different kind of looking.
Printed as a limited edition fine art giclée on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm.

Credentials

Works on commission

Ivan Muller is a South African photographer with over 40 years of experience, formally trained at Tshwane University of Technology and recognized with the Ilford Prize for photography. He employs a minimal, observational technique by mirroring natural forms - such as trees and rock faces - along a vertical axis, producing painterly, fine art giclée prints that straddle documentary realism and psychological depth. His artworks evoke a sense of wonder and revelation, inviting viewers to discover hidden symmetries and deeper realities beneath the ordinary surface of the natural world.
