Under the bridge in the golden hour

A sunny winter morning in Rotterdam. Here we are on the north bank of the river Nieuwe Maas, looking towards the Kop van Zuid districht.

We see the Erasmus Bridge from a somewhat less familiar angle. Without the familiar swan-shaped pylon but with an equally beautifully designed concrete pillar and with the no less beautiful underside of the bridge deck.

The sun is low behind the De Rotterdam building, as can be deduced from the sun rays through one of the openings in the building and from the fact that the underside of the bridge deck is partially illuminated.

Further attention is drawn by one of Spido's tour boats and by the water taxi that is speeding past, coincidentally. Well, coincidentally, I obviously waited for the moment when the vessel was just in the right spot.

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!
