Lichtjahr21 · Nature and Landscape Photography
Decorative wall art with nature, coastlines, light and open space
For living spaces and workspaces
Wall art that brings calm, depth and atmosphere into a room
The selection on this page focuses on motifs that are not only visually compelling as photographs, but also work well as wall art: clear forms, natural colors, calm surfaces, depth within the image and lighting moods that give a room character.
The emphasis is on decorative nature and landscape motifs that blend harmoniously with different interior styles, from clean and minimal to warm, modern or Nordic-inspired spaces.
Curated selection
Picture worlds for different room moods
From cool coastlines and Iceland motifs to regional landscapes from Saxony: this selection helps visitors discover motifs not only by place, but by the effect they create in a room.
Structure and movement
Iceland · Waterfall
Flowing water, structure and a cool color mood as a calm visual focal point.
Light and openness
Saxon Switzerland · Evening light
Rock pinnacles, windswept pines and warm evening light with a regional connection.
Why Lichtjahr21
Why these motifs work well as wall art
Many Lichtjahr21 motifs are created on journeys to Iceland, Norway, Hawaii, Indonesia, the Azores and the Baltic coast. Equally important are the surroundings of Dresden and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, where light, rock, water and weather repeatedly inspire new image ideas.
The selection focuses on motifs that also work well as wall art: clear forms, strong contrasts, calm surfaces, movement in the water or a lighting mood that can give a room atmosphere.
Buying guide
Which motifs work best in which room?
This guide helps you get started if you are not yet sure which visual effect best suits your room or interior style.
Calm, minimal rooms
Water, ice, beach scenes and fog create a particularly calm effect. Motifs such as Bruarfoss, the ice beach or winter coastlines work well in clear, reduced interiors.
Accent wall and focal point
Lava, aurora, thunderclouds and evening colors create visual accents. These motifs work well when the wall art is meant to stand out deliberately.
Regional connection
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, Dresden and the Baltic coast combine landscape with a personal connection. They are good motifs for living spaces, medical practices or offices with a regional identity.
About the photographer
Nature and landscape photography by Ralf Lehmann
Photography has accompanied me since my school days, first in analog form and digitally since 2010. Under the name Lichtjahr21, my aim is to present motifs in a compelling way and tell viewers of my images a small story.
My favorite subjects include wide landscapes, the natural movement of water, clouds and plants, large and small details of our environment, and special lighting moods.
I have been showing my images under the name Lichtjahr21 for more than 15 years.
