The picture employs as its background three geometric planes in blackish green, black and blue, which can also be read as a simple landscape situation with two hills and a night sky. Blossoming on the two dark ‘hills’, like crystalline apparitions in an inner universe, are the wondrous snow flowers of the title, which Ernst has created with the aid of unusual artistic techniques (grattage, frottage and the use of a painter’s comb). The composition is complemented by two other motifs: lower right, the small image of a bird family used by Ernst as his personal emblem and with which he proclaims himself part of this distant world of flowers, and a small blue globe floating alone in the blue field – an image of a remote planet, not dissimilar to Earth?
