Noon.
No one around.
I walk this path,
deep
into spring.
An unending,
green dream.

One of the first sunny, warm spring days of this year. It is quiet in the forest, not a breath of wind, no one to be seen. And as I walk deeper into the forest, the young greenery closes me off more and more from the busy world. So I walk on slowly, as if in a dream....

The work Unending Dream is a digital adaptation of a photo I made near the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, when we still lived there.

Unending Dream (2)

Noon.
No one around.
I walk this path,
deep
into a fading
noonday dream.

Unending Dream (3)

Noon.
No one around.
I walk this path,
deep
into spring.
An unending,
surrealistic dream.

Unending Dream 1, 2 and 3 are artworks in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.

General info on this artwork

Each of these artworks is a digital transformation of a photograph. Printed on order with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm). The works come in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity.
But of course, they are also available as Open Edition print, without signature and not numbered. Available in any size you desire, prices starting at €55 / US$60.

Maximum size is 225Wx150H cm / 90Wx60H inches, any size available up to that maximum. So please let me know the size you would prefer.

I start with one or more photographs made by myself to create these artworks. Then I use digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic textures and effects. I do this until there is a surreal atmosphere that touches me and tells the story I want to tell you.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
