Four cairns in Reykjavik

Four cairns (or are there six?), next to the bay of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.

Stacking stones is probably one of the oldest art forms of mankind. In Iceland, these small sculptures, also stone men, were and are often used to mark a path through the rugged interior. But just as often they have no such function and the stones are simply stacked for fun. As here on Saebraut, a busy road in downtown Reykjavik. With the waters of the Kollafjörður River and the snow-capped mountains behind it, nothing in this photo indicates the hustle and bustle of the city.

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!
