A cartoon version of the Inverted World with strongly exaggerated relief against a background of twinkling stars.
In this world all the land is water and all the water land. Continents are oceans and oceans are continents; islands are lakes and lakes are islands. A planet with more than twice as much land area as ours, grouped around a few enormous water basins.
Here we see the African Ocean and the European Sea, with in between the Mediterranean peninsula. On the right is the India continent above the Asian Ocean whose European Sea is actually an offshoot. On the left we see the Atlantic continent with its green shores and dry inlands.
American and Asian / Australian versions as well as a flat world map also exist for this work.

My work can be located in the border regions of photography, painting and computer visuals. With my company 3Develop I do work in commission but I use the same techniques, skills and software to make free work. I am originally an architect and I live in Rotterdam; for that reason the architecture of that city is a major (but not the only) source of inspiration. But also travel to countries like Iceland and Britain, or walks in the Netherlands, provide much material. Seeing and showing quality and beauty, that is what my work is about.
