View towards Erasmus Bridge

Rotterdam's iconic Erasmus Bridge has often been photographed. In this photo, "The Swan" plays a modest role. We see it in between two of the new residential buildings that have sprung up on the Wrist van Katendrecht in recent years.

Modest as it may be, the bridge does appear twice in this photo because, like the residential buildings and the boats on the quay, it is reflected in the water of Maashaven harbour, which on this windless day is only stirred up, out of view, by some water birds.

On either side of the bridge, we see another piece of two iconic buildings in the Kop van Zuid district. On the right, the former KPN tower by architect Renzo Piano, now officially known as De Link. And on the left, De Rotterdam, the city's largest building, designed by Rem Koolhaas.

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!
