Architectural Reflectification

A number of modern residential towers on the north side of the Wijnhaven in Rotterdam are reflectificated here. In other words, I took a photo of their reflection in the water of the harbor and flipped that photo around the horizontal axis. The result is that you seem to be looking up from under water towards the architectural gems that have appeared here in recent years.

The water is in considerable turmoil but despite the spectacular distortions, it is still possible to recognize what we see. At the center of the image is the recently completed residential tower The Muse. To its left we see the low-rise of 100 Hoog . To the right, with yellow crane, the Casanova tower, still under construction, can be seen.

My work can be found 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.

World maps and reliefs made from unique materials, vintage postcards, and futuristic space art, graphic interpretations and painterly edits, artist impressions, and abstract geometric art. But also more "traditional" photography of cities and landscapes, plants, and textures.

Originally trained as an architect and living in Rotterdam, I draw significant inspiration from the architecture and history of Roffa/Rotjeknor/Bokitodonk. Additionally, travels to places like Iceland and Great Britain, as well as walks in the Netherlands, provide ample material for my work.

All the pieces in my webshop are carefully selected for their suitability as wall art. The possibilities with the professionals at Werk aan de Muur are nearly endless: from canvas and photo prints to aluminum and acrylic glass. Square or round, framed or unframed. From an A4-sized print to wall-covering wallpaper. The perfect wall art for your living room, kitchen, bedroom, or even balcony and garden!
