Fine art print of a black and white photograph taken in 2011 in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. It was digitally edited in 2025. Each print in this small series is very subtly hand-painted in golden yellow in the area of the "comet's tail." Thus, each print is unique. Hand-signed, limited edition, and stamped. Other formats available. "A stroll through Astana in the deepest black of night. Solitude. Searching for subjects. A young girl. Her inquisitive… gaze met mine. A delicate smile. A quick photo. A fleeting encounter. Only for seconds. Unforgettable? The memory blurs. Vanishes. Becomes ever paler like the tail of a shooting star that glows for only seconds, yet impresses us deeply and lastingly."
Thomas Ruhl works as a painter and photographer with a background in graphic design, photography, and journalism. He masterfully combines black-and-white photography with hand-colored elements, often complemented by literary texts, thereby bringing historical coloring techniques back into contemporary art. His style moves at the intersection of photography, painting, and literature, always aesthetic and critical at the same time. His works tell moving stories of people worldwide and invite the viewer to empathy, humanity, and sensitive reflection. Ruhl has received numerous international awards for his work. His pieces have been presented in group and solo exhibitions and at art fairs. After studying art, financial difficulties initially drove him into advertising. This was followed by the founding of the publishing house Port-Culinaire, which established itself at the top end of the market with a magazine and culinary books. Now he devotes himself exclusively to art.
