Portal of Night — Exclusive Limited Edition Fine Art Print (1/5)
Captured deep in the High Tatras of Slovakia, Portal of Night is a rare convergence of endurance, timing, and cosmic alignment. Created in the heart of winter, far from civilization, this photograph was made under extreme conditions—where temperatures dropped to –20°C, and the artist stood alone through the night, hours away from human presence, waiting for a moment that may never return.
At the center of the frozen alpine lake, fractured ice forms a natural geometric pattern, resembling a gateway carved by nature itself. This silent foreground becomes a portal—drawing the viewer inward—toward towering, snow-covered peaks and the luminous arc of the Milky Way rising precisely between them. Such alignment is exceptionally rare, requiring not only precise astronomical timing but also an intimate understanding of the landscape and unwavering commitment in unforgiving conditions.
This image is a study of contrast and scale: the fragile complexity of frozen water against the permanence of ancient mountains; the stillness of winter silence beneath the infinite movement of the night sky. The Milky Way, framed by the peaks, transforms the scene into something almost metaphysical—an encounter that feels less observed and more experienced. Printed as a museum-grade luxury artwork, Portal of Night is produced using the highest archival standards to ensure longevity, depth, and tonal richness for generations.
Every detail—from the crystalline texture of the ice to the subtle gradients of starlight—has been preserved to maintain the photograph’s atmospheric integrity and quiet power. This piece is intended for discerning collectors who value rarity, narrative, and authenticity. It is not simply an image of a place, but a testament to human dedication, solitude, and the pursuit of moments that exist beyond comfort and certainty.
Portal of Night is a work for those who understand that true luxury lies in what cannot be repeated—a singular moment at the threshold between Earth and the cosmos. Only five prints of this artwork will ever be produced worldwide. By acquiring this fine art piece, you obtain a truly exceptional work of lasting value. The first print of the edition was exhibited in several locations around the world and was also part of an unique Filip's "Elements of our Earth" project.
Premium-Quality Materials
Each photograph is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive museum-grade fine art paper, a medium chosen for its exceptional longevity, color fidelity, and ability to render the finest details with remarkable clarity. The print is then mounted on a rigid aluminum panel and sealed beneath high-quality acrylic glass, creating a flawless protective layer that preserves the image while enhancing its visual depth and luminosity. Every aspect of the presentation is crafted with precision, and the artwork is encased in a luxurious frame that elevates the photograph, giving it a timeless, gallery-quality presence. For those who prefer a more modern, minimalist aesthetic, a frameless version is also available, featuring a thicker 4mm acrylic glass that maintains the same level of protection and elegance.
Before printing, each photograph undergoes meticulous color calibration to ensure perfect fidelity, harmonized within one of the established color schemes. To achieve this, we have carefully selected materials capable of reproducing the full spectrum of colors accurately, without any compromise in longevity, vibrancy, or quality. This dedication to detail ensures that each piece remains as stunning as the moment it was first created.
Every artwork comes equipped with a pre-installed, robust hanging system, designed to securely support even the heaviest prints. This ensures that your artwork can be displayed safely and confidently for years to come, allowing you to enjoy its beauty without concern.

Certificate of Authenticity

Each certificate is a testament to the artwork’s provenance, carefully detailing the title of the photograph, the materials and techniques used in its production, the artist’s name, the date of creation, the artist’s original protective seal, and their personally handwritten signature. This ensures that the originality and integrity of the piece are fully documented and verifiable.
To further guarantee the authenticity of your artwork, the artist’s protective seal is also applied to the reverse side of the print. This physical mark serves as a tangible confirmation that your piece is not a reproduction, but a genuine, one-of-a-kind creation. Together, the certificate and the seal elevate your artwork to a collectible masterpiece, a work of art that holds both aesthetic and enduring value. Owning such a piece is not just an investment in art—it is an invitation to experience the vision, care, and mastery of the artist firsthand.
