Earth from Space

This image shows our planet Earth as seen from a viewpoint 55,000 km above western Europe or, to be more precise, above the workplace in Rotterdam, the Netherlands where this artist's impression was made.

We see Europe in the middle, Africa below and Greenland and the North Pole above . Sunlight is coming from the left and reflects in the Atlantic Ocean off the Canary Islands. North and South America are waking up; in Dubai, Tehran and Omsk the evening lights go on.

From the ocean west of Ireland a storm is on the move but for now the Netherlands and its neighbour countries are bathing in the late afternoon sun.

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!
