Assume ''f'' : ''U'' → '''C''' is a non-constant holomorphic function and ''U'' is a [[open subset___domain]] of the complex plane. We have to show that every [[Point (geometry)|point]] in ''f''(''U'') is an [[interior point]] of ''f''(''U''), i.e. that every point in ''f''(''U'') is contained in a disk which is contained in ''f''(''U'').
 
Consider an arbitrary ''w''<sub>0</sub> in ''f''(''U''). Then there exists a point ''z''<sub>0</sub> in ''U'' such that ''w''<sub>0</sub> = ''f''(''z''<sub>0</sub>). Since ''U'' is open, we can find ''d'' > 0 such that the closed disk ''B'' around ''z''<sub>0</sub> with radius ''d'' is fully contained in ''U''. Consider the function ''g''(''z'') = ''f''(''z'')−''w''<sub>0</sub>. Note that ''z''<sub>0</sub> is a [[root of a function|root]] of the function.
