“Initially, my photos and visual work were separate. During my studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie, the two disciplines came into contact with each other due to the theme of the photographic works. Capturing details such as carved reed, the construction increasingly became a source of inspiration for drawings, embroidery, weaving and braiding.
Later the interest in the cultural-historical elements in the landscape was added. Through research in the archives, learned more about the creation and cohesion of, for example, dikes and quays, waterways, planting along roads and around yards and buildings.
A study of cultural anthropology gave insight into the role that people from all times have played in this. Their work to feed themselves, to move around and to protect themselves against water, weather and wind has made the landscape what it is today: the result of a process of change that has been going on for centuries.
Although there are no people in my landscape photos, they are everywhere in it these days. I try to photographically portray the traces of their activities and their

The changing of the seasons, times of the day and different types of weather always give it a different look, so that it always invites me to go out with the camera.
Because photography, visual work and cultural-historical research have become so closely linked in recent years, this site contains, in addition to photo series, also articles written by me, in which striking landscape elements are the subject. Their origin is usually explained by archival research, comparing maps, talking to those involved and literature research. As a result, you look at the landscape very differently and see ‘new’ things every time.”

“From an early age, I was drawn to images, visual stimuli made a deep impression. Nowadays, this is still the same. love to look at images, artworks, the sky, people’s faces, or the way light and shadow slide into the room. At some point, felt that words couldn’t express to a full extent what observed. Either I tried to explain too much or, as it seems, not enough. Photography, to me, is a way of communicating a certain feeling, observation or scenery which is hard to capture in words. It’s an attempt to evoke and share and to somehow silence the moment for a while.”

“The world has become more uncertain in recent years due to the Intelligence (AI). These threats have meant for me that it has become even more important than before to portray how wonderful the earth and life on earth is for all creatures. Life is harsh for many beings but also beautiful, and here on earth live the most wonderful and fantastic creatures. My art is inspired by the nature that surrounds me and the thoughts have about the things that happen in the world. Often there will, therefore also be more thoughts behind my more layers than simply depicting the beautiful in this life.”

Natalia Rose (b. 1953, Russia) creates paintings, drawings and conceptual artworks. Rose absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into a daily practice through the use of abstractions. A key element of her work is the absence of clear cut references.
By challenging the conventional separation between the realm diverse meanings. Associations and interpretations collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image.
Her work radiates latent power and force, maybe even violence. Disconcerting beauty emerges. Playing with sign processes she seduces the viewer to enter a world of ongoing equilibrium and an interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify
“In his bizarre sceneries, Robert Ram applies highly idiosyncratic principles of composition, spiced up with a touch of satire. His work is a fantastic, surrealist symbiosis of natural motifs and mystery with an element of mysticism. His sense of fairy-tale magic and poetry has an immediate emotional appeal. At the same time, looking at his work creates the illusion of entering a nondescript ahistorical past that, as it is experienced, turns into the present once again. Paradoxically, the artist’s realistic painting style presents a fantastic world of images that refuses to imitate reality, resorting to the language of association and provocative dimensions instead.”

Here and there, another color is added, with no clear idea of what will appear. Gradually, an image touches the fringes of my mind. Bits and pieces of a vague outline trigger subconscious thoughts, experiences, places, or people. see a path through the mind onto the canvas. There may be many detours has been sighted.”

“Cave”
Due to its size and compositional setting, we feel as if we are inside the painting when standing in front of it. It immerses us in the depths of a cave while our gaze is directed towards the outside. However, we are only able to see a fraction of what lies beyond, with a horizon that provides no indication of direction.
This situation can be compared to the human condition of being enclosed within a body, which we perceive the external world. What we see is not reality itself, but rather a limited understanding shaped by our individual capacities. Despite this, the artwork evokes a sense of security, warmth, and openness, devoid of any threatening elements. It allows for personal interpretation and does not impose any predetermined meaning.
