About the artwork

The artwork "Harlingen" offers a stylised and atmospheric representation of this charming Dutch port city. In the foreground are characteristic old stone houses, highlighting Harlingen's historical charm. These houses are characterised by their stepped gables, a typical architectural detail that enhances the old town atmosphere. The windows on the Seaport give an inviting appearance and invite exploration. The use of stylised lines and shapes gives the artwork a modern, almost abstract look, while retaining recognisable elements of the city.

On the right side of the sculpture is a white plastered house on Havenplein, which provides a nice contrast to the darker stone buildings. This house exudes tranquillity and simplicity, adding another layer of authenticity to the composition. The absence of people in the artwork creates a calm, almost contemplative atmosphere, as if the city stands still in a moment of tranquillity.

The background is dominated by a brilliant blue, cloudless sky, which gives the composition a fresh and vibrant look. The clear sky emphasises the brightness and freshness of the scene, and beautifully expresses the historic buildings. All in all, the artwork captures the timeless charm and tranquillity of Harlingen, with a modern twist through its stylised execution.
