About the artwork

The digital artwork "Stork" shows a stylised stork sitting proudly on her nest, high on a slender wooden pole. The bird's lines are simple but elegant, with a minimalist approach in which details have been reduced to the essentials: a sharp red beak, a subtly curved neck and elongated black legs that almost seem to merge with the contours of the nest. The wings are folded together, with contrasting white and black areas rendered in tight, geometric shapes. The nest itself looks rough and organic, composed of loose, jagged lines suggesting the tangle of twigs, and contrasts nicely with the stylised shapes of the bird.
The background consists of an intense, brilliant blue sky without any clouds, making the stork and her nest stand out even more. The plain sky creates a sense of space and calm, reinforcing the symbolism of freedom and height. The use of colour is sparse but powerful: white, black and red in the stork, earthy browns in the nest, and an almost unreal pure blue in the sky.
Because of its simplicity and stylisation, the artwork has a timeless, almost iconic appeal. It evokes associations with traditional Dutch landscapes and symbolism, but the digital, graphic style gives it a contemporary and universal quality. "Ooievaar" balances between natural fidelity and abstraction, inviting the viewer to experience both the bird and its surroundings in a new way.
