This is another one of those colorful works of art moored from time to time at Park Quay in Rotterdam. A composition of sloppily applied red, white and blue paint that blends nicely with the scratches and rust spots.
The relief on this ship's bow adds to that color palette. Horizontally through the image, roughly on the golden section, runs a welding line. In the upper left we see the indentation of one of the ship's anchors. Unintentionally playful, the stripes and numbers of the draught mark slant upward. Finally, the distinctive mark on the right indicates that this vessel has a bulb stern, which extends forward of the bow and provides less drag.

My work can be located 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. I am originally an architect and I live in Rotterdam; for that reason the architecture of that city is a major (but not the only) source of inspiration. But also travel to countries like Iceland and Britain, or walks in the Netherlands, provide much material. Seeing and showing quality and beauty, that is what my work is about.
