Just as I sometimes dream of spring or summer while it is still winter, I also sometimes dream of winter on a warm summer day.

It is a kind of vague longing for peace and quiet, for moments of reflection. Summer is a hectic time of blooming, ripening, harvesting, processing and making ready for storage. This is true for humans, but also for all animals that need winter supplies to survive that period.
A time when everything is buzzing, both outside in nature and in your head with all that is left to do.

A website that features my work asked for some new work. Along with the comment that black and white is currently in high demand.

When working on a selection for this art website, the idea arose to transform a summer dream into winter dreams in black and white… So here is my dreamy expression of winter, created on a warm summer day...

'Winter Dreams' is a new artwork in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.

It is based on a photo I made on a beautiful sunny day in May on a path in a forest in the vicinity of the city of Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

General info on this artwork

This artwork 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 150Wx150H cm / 60Wx60H 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.

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 page↗️ and this page↗️ (smaller for limited edition, the same for open edition). But of course available in any size you desire !

'Winter Dreams' is also available on Fine Art America

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…
