About the artwork

The digital artwork "Lunetten Station" shows a stylised and simplified representation of the Utrecht railway station of the same name, captured under a brilliant blue, cloudless sky. The atmosphere is clear and serene, while the image itself is playfully and graphically constructed with clear lines and even colour areas. Above the station hall, the text "UTRECHT LUNETTEN" appears in bright red capital letters, acting as a visual anchor and immediately betraying its location. To the left of the centre, a classic white station sign is visible with the indication "Spoor 2", simply designed but clearly legible.
A special detail is the circular station clock, which reads the time 12 minutes past 1, evoking a sense of still moment or delay. Two parallel tracks run in front of the station, with tightly stretched overhead wires above them rhythmically bisecting the image. The foreground shows a concrete wall, partially covered in graffiti, under which "MANKS" can be read in striking letters, adding a raw, urban accent to the otherwise stylised whole.
Coarse, sketchy green bushes are depicted behind the station, deliberately rendered rough and less detailed, offering a nice contrast to the clean architectural lines of the station itself. The artwork balances between realism and abstraction, with colours and shapes emphasised more strongly than precise details. The composition evokes a sense of ordinariness and poetry, a snapshot of a moment that is at once timeless and specific.
