About the artwork

"Achter de Dom" is a digital artwork that captures a still life of a Utrecht street bathed in summer light. The composition shows the historical atmosphere of the city with a row of old houses on the left, built of warm, brown bricks. Their weathered facades and small pavements exude a sense of timelessness and tranquillity. On the right, a series of yellow buildings contrast subtly with the darker palette on the left; their lighter tones reflect the sunlight and balance the image.
The street itself runs in a gentle perspective line to the horizon, where a few figures move slowly through the scene. They are small and vague, suggesting liveliness rather than being the focal point. Their presence enhances the impression of a warm, relaxed summer afternoon without disturbing the serenity of the scene.
Above the city, a pale blue sky curves, clear and friendly, interrupted only by two playful, white clouds that seem to float almost weightlessly. The atmosphere is light and open, but not empty; the image invites you to wander the streets, feel the texture of the stones and experience the soft summer air.
With soft colours, minute details and harmonious composition, "Behind the Cathedral" manages to capture a timeless moment, where history and everyday tranquillity come together. The digital medium enhances the freshness of the colours and gives the work a bright, almost tangible quality.
