About the artwork

Spring on repeat: woman with red umbrella

In this graphic artwork, a park landscape is built from repetition and rhythm. The image consists of two original photographs - one of a solitary tree and one of a dense patch of shrubbery - which have been digitally merged and mirrored to form a pattern. This visual repetition forms an almost abstract backdrop, in which natural elements become a structured whole. The result is a stylised, rhythmic landscape that is both soothing and intriguing.

Moving among this ordered greenery is a woman with a striking red umbrella. Her presence forms a powerful contrast to the rhythm of the background and immediately grabs the viewer's attention. As subtle details, there are also a few collared parakeets playfully flying around, a nod to Utrecht's urban nature.

Although the image looks abstract because of the repeated pattern, it remains recognisable as a spring day in a city park. The fresh greenery, subtle movement and bright colour accents evoke the feeling of spring - new beginnings, lightness, and life.

This work is a balance between control and spontaneity: a structured visual framework in which there is room for narrative and chance. It invites multiple viewings, always looking for what you might have overlooked before.
