Searching for the unknown
plunging beyond the deepest
Luminous experiences
shatter my heart open

For anyone who devotes to life, who loves the unknown, learns by trial and error, and inspires others by example....

....plunging into the abysmal is not scary, it is ultimate inspiration.

So leave the gray behind, and seek the light in the fascinating, intensely colored unknown.

'The Abysmal' is a triptych in my collection Infinite Sea.

General info on these artworks

The artworks in the triptych 'The Abysmal' are digital transformations of photographs. Printed on order with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm). The works are sold separately and 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 150Wx150H cm / 60Wx60H 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.

Prints are available, ask for a quote or contact me through a message. Prints are also available in my Saatchi Art portfolio at the artwork pages.

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…
