Reflected residential towers

Wijnhaven harbour in Rotterdam, with its relatively calm water and colorful architecture and ships, is a good place for making reflectifications like this. A photo of a reflection, taken in sunny and almost windless weather and then flipped around the horizontal axis. This creates the illusion of looking up from underwater.

Here we see three residential towers. On the left, with the crane, the Casanova, which is still under construction, next to it the recently completed Our Domain and to the far right Wijnhaeve, which is already fifteen years old. The round white shape of the historic barge at the bottom right completes the composition, as a counterpoint to the mainly vertical straight lines of the modern buildings.

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!
