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

A sunny, warm spring day. 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.

But when I chose this work to publish yesterday, a vision of a variation of it suddenly came to my mind. So I went to work on that, which resulted in the two new works below.

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'.

Prints are available in my Saatchi Art portfolio at the collection page, or buy a print directly from me by contacting me for a quote including shipping costs to your home.

And an update August 11, 2024: Take a look at the new artwork 'An Unending Dream', based on the artwork 'Unending Dream (3)'

General info on these artworks

Each of these artworks is a digital transformation of a photograph, printed with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm). The work comes in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. But of course, it is also available as Open Edition print, without signature and not numbered. Available in any size you desire !

Maximum size is 225Wx150H cm / 90wx60H inches. The work can be printed in any size 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 effects, until a surrealistic atmosphere is created that touches me and tells the story I want to tell.

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, on your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it, on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming, on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
