CORação - Colours of the Heart

(Portuguese: cor = colour · coração = heart)

We often say the world is turning grey: films desaturate, car parks grow monochrome, and our timelines feel heavy. CORação is the antidote – an invitation to slow down, leave stress behind, and see beauty in full colour.

Colours and emotions are deeply intertwined. In this collection, the artist aligns each scene with a palette chosen to evoke a single feeling – a gesture long familiar to painters, less common in photography.

After moving from Germany to Portugal in 2019, Nico Trinkhaus felt at home in a country where colour is woven into the very fabric of life. It was in Portugal that he began CORação.

Crossing into Spain revealed that the same intensity of colour and light runs through the Iberian Peninsula.

This is why CORação Salamanca Edition presents 14 works from both countries, exploring the unity of human experience in colour and feelings.

CORação is an invitation to see with your heart

About the Artist

Nico Trinkhaus (Berlin, 1988 → Lisbon, Portugal) is an award-winning landscape and cityscape photographer whose work has been exhibited across Europe. Through workshops and writing, he teaches photographers to cultivate a personal visual style and a more intentional practice.

He describes himself as a “mindblind” photographer – born with aphantasia, the inability to visualise images. For him, photography is both memory and a means to share the places and emotions he encounters via his platform www.sumfinity.com.

Excitement

Alfama, Lisbon · Opus 0623

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Portas do Sol was my introduction into Lisbon back in 2018. It was here that I fell in love with the city that would later become my new home.

I passed this viewpoint countless times, but the photograph I had envisioned was never possible to capture – until 2023. At last, the construction sites that had long disturbed the view were gone, and I returned at sunrise, eager for the city to reveal itself.

As the first light touched the rooftops, the sky erupted in fiery tones of orange and pink, draping Alfama in a glow that felt almost electric.

Grace

MAAT, Lisbon · Opus 0358

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

For four years I lived in the Ajuda district of Lisbon, and walks along the river became an almost daily ritual. I would often pass through MAAT, a building whose elegance never failed to catch my eye.

Its architecture has a quiet perfection — soft curves that seem to flow with Lisbon’s rhythm of life, while its surface reflects and multiplies whatever colours the day offers.

To honour that beauty, I chose to capture it at sunrise, when the first light set its curves aglow against the rigid silhouette of the bridge beyond.

Anticipation

Praia do Norte, Nazaré · Opus 0419

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Nazaré is world-famous for the largest surfable wave. When I moved to Portugal, I began following the forecasts closely. I wasn’t chasing only the towering waves, but I was also waiting for the moment when they would meet a sunny day – the kind of light I knew could transform the scene.

Eventually, I found myself walking down the cliffside towards the treacherous Praia do Norte to seek a new perspective. The sunset bathed everything in warm golden tones, softening the raw power of the Atlantic. In that balance between danger and serenity, I finally captured the photograph I had been looking for.

Serenity

Mourão, Alentejo · Opus 0674

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

The Alentejo soon became my favorite refuge during the dry, hot summer months. Time slows here, life retreating into the comfort of shadows.

One morning I rose early to catch the sunrise. Guided by sound, I followed the bleating of sheep across the fields until a sudden whoosh made me look up – a balloon floated quietly overhead.

I sat still and let the scene unfold: the soft light, the animals, the sky alive with movement. And when the heat began to press down, a shepherd’s dog trotted over and gently herded me back toward the nearby hotel.

Freedom — Tenerife, Spain

Freedom

Tenerife, Spain · Opus 0568

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Before moving to Lisbon, Tenerife was our annual winter escape. A place that gave us sun when Germany went grey.

It was my dream to capture the Teide peeking out above a layer of clouds. One day, we had the right conditions and drove up the Anaga mountains.

When I discovered this viewpoint, I knew I had to wait for the sun to be in central alignment, so that the shadows pull you right into the frame.

Enchantment

Barcelona, Spain · Opus 0666

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

What are you looking at?

In Barcelona, I fell in love with Gaudí. The way he brings forms of nature into his architecture is second to none and I couldn’t stop taking in every little detail of his work.

One of the items that stood out to me was this chandelier: We can’t help but be reminded of a gecko looking at us.

No straight lines and perfect colour harmony between the purple and golden hues – a small masterpiece within a grand architectural design.

 
Enchantment — Barcelona, Spain
Flux — Madrid, Spain

Flux

Madrid, Spain · Opus 0202

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Madrid instantly reminded me of New York City – even though at the time I had never set foot to the United States.

Standing above the rooftops, I felt the city hum below. Restless, modern, alive and never quiet. The sunset wrapped the landscape in warm hues of orange and pink.

And when the Metropolis building started to illuminate its decoration, the scene was perfect.

Clarity

Valencia, Spain · Opus 0127

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences is a playground for photographers. A place where the architecture is the hero, waiting to be discovered in all its dimensions.

I spent all afternoon capturing various compositions of the unique ensemble.

But it wasn’t until the night hit that I got the meaning behind this building. Looking at it from the right angle, it stares right back at you. And suddenly, the architect’s intent becomes clear.

Clarity — Valencia, Spain

Determination

Belém, Lisbon · Opus 0289

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

When I moved to Portugal, I immersed myself in the history of the Discoverers – men who set sail into the unknown, guided only by willpower and the stars above, many never to return.

The monument in Belém rises proudly in their honor, yet I wanted to show it differently: small beneath the immensity of the night sky, the same sky that once steered them across uncharted oceans.

In that contrast, I found a sense of what it must have felt like to stand on the edge of the world, ready to risk everything in pursuit of discovery.

Epiphany

Lisbon · Opus 0447

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

For months, I hadn’t touched my camera. Like everyone else, Covid turned life upside down. We had just moved to Portugal and suddenly found ourselves confined to a small one-bedroom apartment.

When the first lockdowns lifted, my friend João called: “From your balcony, we’ll have the perfect view of tonight’s Supermoon.”

So we shared dinner – my first meal with a friend in what felt like forever. And then fate staged a spectacle: the moon rose and came to rest exactly on the pillar of Lisbon’s iconic bridge.

That light in the darkness – both literal and symbolic – was the moment that pulled me back onto my path after a long pause.

Desire

Mealhada, Bairrada · Opus 0605

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Portugal is celebrated for its wines, and in Bairrada I discovered a region devoted to sparkling wine, crafted with devotion and patience.

Caves Messias opened their century-old cellars for me – a labyrinth where thousands of bottles rest in the cool darkness. Here, the wine is still made by hand, each bottle carefully turned day after day in quiet ritual.

Among the whites and reds, it was the rosé that drew me in. Its tones shimmered in the dim cellar light, almost like liquid sunset waiting to be uncorked.

Harmony

Foz d’Égua, Serra da Estrela · Opus 0615

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Portugal hides many treasures in its interior, far from the paths most visitors travel. Foz d’Égua, tucked into the Serra da Estrela mountains, is one of them.

Life feels in balance. Time lingers as it always has, undisturbed by the noise and distractions of the city. Stone bridges, houses, and footpaths seem to rise naturally from the landscape, as if built with nature rather than against it.

I was drawn to capture this place not only for its beauty but also as a reminder that another rhythm of life still exists – one that honours simplicity and connection with the earth.

Awe — Tenerife, Spain

Awe

Bajamar, Tenerife, Spain · Opus 0269

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Tenerife is known for its sunny southern beaches, yet the rough northern coast holds some surprises.

We stopped for lunch in a small restaurant in Bajamar – just us and a young family at the next table. Later, as the sun set over the lighthouse, I started capturing silhouettes against the crashing waves.

And then, the family from the restaurant started to move into the scene. When the father then lifted his child up in the air, I knew I had my photo.

Reverence

Fátima · Opus 0422

Available as Limited Edition · from €300 →

Fátima represents the spiritual heart of Portugal. Visiting felt essential, not only to understand Portuguese heritage but also to experience the weight of devotion that draws millions here.

As I wandered through the sanctuary, this composition stopped me: arches glowing in warm sunlight, balanced against the cool clarity of the sky. A scene that seemed to reflect faith itself – moments of clarity and moments of doubt, yet always drawn towards the light.

I set up here in silence, letting the symmetry and the light guide me, determined to honor this monumental place of worship.

Voices from Our Collectors
One of the most magic moments my husband and I had when visiting Portugal last year – first time we left our three little kids home with the grandparents -, doing a hike along the coast and sitting more or less where the picture was taken. Looking so much forward to remembering this moment also back home!

I received my picture. It’s absolutely incredible. I’m so excited just so you have a little backstory. My husband and I who have been married 30 years got married at the old City Hall so this picture is going to be hung in our home to remind us of our special day.

My wife and I stayed in Budapest for 4 days and enjoyed our visit. We transversed this bridge on scooter multiple times and have our own photos but they don’t compare to your dreamy and colorful artwork. We’ve been to multiple places you have captured in photos and we really enjoy your talent.
