Turquoise sea and endless horizon

by Jeroen Berendse

About this work:
From the white limestone cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi, on the southern coast of Sicily, I look out over an endless, open Mediterranean Sea. The water transitions from clear turquoise at the shore to deep ocean blue on the horizon, where sunlight glitters like silver on the waves. Above the sea, white cumulus clouds drift through a radiant summer sky. At the bottom of the picture, the smooth, undulating rocks form a tranquil backdrop to all that space. This piece exudes a holiday atmosphere, freedom and tranquillity, bringing the fresh colours of the Mediterranean into your home. A soothing and timeless statement piece for the living room, bedroom or bathroom.

About Jeroen Berendse:
In my day job, I’m a marketer. That means listening carefully to and observing customers, and using that knowledge to devise relevant solutions. As a photographer, I actually do the same thing, with the difference that I mainly listen closely to myself.

Photography is a way of telling a story. Captured in the perfect still image. A good photograph takes you in your mind’s eye to a special place in the world, an event that makes you smile or sets your creative mind at work. And because this is very personal, the same photograph evokes a unique experience and feeling in everyone – both the photographer and the viewer.

My portfolio contains photographs of a wide variety of subjects. You can find my full portfolio in my shop at Werk aan de Muur and on my website www.jeroenberendse.nl.
