Reflectification The Wrist of Katendrecht

This photo was taken from Maashaven harbour east side in Rotterdam, on a sunny and almost windless day. It is a so-called reflectification: I have flipped the photo of the reflection around its horizontal axis. This creates the remarkable illusion of looking up from under the water surface.

Here we see two new residential buildings on the so-called Wrist of Katendrecht, with mainly red and brown colors. In between, lighter tinted, are the Rotterdam building and Erasmus Bridge. In the foreground we see the light brown of the quay and the bright white of a river cruise ship. The color palette is completed by the blue of the sky.

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!
