About the artwork

This artwork captures the essence of the Dutch coast in a timeless black-and-white composition. It shows not just a landscape, but a feeling - the peace, strength and purity of nature as found only on our own coastline.
The dune takes centre stage in this image, bathed in the soft sunlight gliding across the rolling landscape. The sun casts its rays on the blooming marram grass, full of life moving with the sea breeze. The marram grass catches the light and creates a subtle play of shine and shadow across the sand. Where the sun hits the dune, fine structures light up; in the shadows, the depth of the landscape comes alive.
The choice of black and white gives the image a modern, almost abstract look. Without colour, only the essence remains: the shapes, the contrasts, the textures. The shades range from deep black to bright white, with a rich range of greys in between. This creates a serene yet powerful atmosphere - an ode to the simplicity and beauty of Dutch nature.
This work is ideal for those who love the combination between modern photography and natural tranquillity. It fits perfectly in a sleek interior, but also in a space where you just want to feel the calmness of nature. A glance at this image instantly takes you back to that moment by the sea - the silence of the dune, the rustling of the wind, the play of light and shadow on the sand.
A modern interpretation of a timeless landscape - pure, powerful and unforgettable.
