Nocturne of the Lake

A ghost of wings and water, the swan looms like a nightmarish spirit, elegant, fearsome, a dark vision in monochrome. Gliding through black waters, eyes locked on the viewer, evoking awe, humility and the uncanny stillness of the night.

About Artist

Frida Hermansson

Inspired by Nature Frida Hermansson, based on a small farm in Roslagen, Sweden, has loved animals and nature since childhood. Close to nature, she finds inspiration, creativity, and balance. An Art Director and Graphic Designer, Frida brings a creative eye to her photography of animals, landscapes, and abstract details. Through her work, she explores both international destinations and the beauty of her own country, while highlighting the importance of protecting our planet and its biodiversity. Her photographs have been exhibited in galleries, featured on Swedish televison, various magazines and books. Frida is most inspired when her pictures touch the minds and hearts of others, encouraging them to care a little more for the world we all share.
