Reflection Saint Lawrence Church Rotterdam

The tower of the Big or Saint Lawrence Church, Rotterdam's oldest landmark, reflects in the water of Delftsevaart canal in this sunny image.

Saint Lawrence Church is the only remaining medieval building in the center of Rotterdam. The tower dates from the fifteenth century, although the structure was raised several times in the centuries that followed to its current 65 meters.

The church was severely damaged in the bombing raid on 14 May 1940, but fortunately the monument was restored after the war; a major achievement that was not completed until 1968.

To the left of the tower we see a building of much later date, but nevertheless older than most of the buildings in downtown Rotterdam: the district heating plant, put into operation in 1925.

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!
