The digital artwork "De Bijenkorf" shows the department store as a shining focal point in an otherwise dark city. The facade of De Bijenkorf, located on Lange Viestraat in the heart of Utrecht, is richly decorated with Christmas lights: warm shades of gold, subtle lines of white and amber, and a soft glow that brings the building to life against the night-time backdrop.
The street is silent, with only a few silhouettes of passers-by - abstractly rendered, minimalist, almost faded in the dark. The reflection of light on the wet pavement stones creates a dynamic play of shine and shadow. Everything breathes tranquillity, as if the city is holding its breath, lit only by the festive splendour of De Bijenkorf.
The windows of the department store show faint outlines of interior lighting, giving the impression that inside is alive - an echo of shopping, warmth and anticipation. This work is all about atmosphere: the harmony between silence and brilliance, between architecture and emotion. The colour palette remains controlled - deep blues and black, interspersed with gold, cream and soft yellow.
This artwork captures not only a building, but also a feeling: the quiet splendour of a Dutch city on a December night, where light and emptiness meet in a moment of stillness.
