Rotterdam, boats and buildings

It's like looking up from under the water surface at two things that make Rotterdam's Wijnhaveneiland so special: historic ships and modern buildings.

From left to right we see the residential towers 100 Hoog, The Muse and Casanova and on the far right the building of the Hogeschool that houses the Wilem de Kooning academy. Together with the ships it provides a very colorful image.

In reality, of course, the photo was taken from the quay, but on this almost windless spring day the almost wrinkle-free surface in the Wijnhaven gave new meaning to the term "water mirror".

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!
