Sunset in Rotterdam

This photo was taken from the Zalmhaven tower, looking west. A flaming sunset over the Rotterdam port, where the energy transition is in full swing: we can still see chimneys and plumes of smoke but also dozens of wind turbines. Dark clouds add some drama.

Of course, this photo benefit mostly from the contrast between the narrow strip of bright, fiery colours and the dark areas above and below.

The buildings in the foreground, obscured by dusk, can only be named by a connoisseur. However, we do clearly see the river Maas and the traffic on the Westzeedijk. And, of course, the silhouette of Rotterdam's city icon: the Euromast.

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!
