The digital work "Hofplein train" captures the iconic Hofplein train station in Rotterdam and brings to life the dynamics of this historic point. The work shows the intercity train diving into the tunnel, heading south, only to reappear above ground a moment later. It also recalls the past, when Hofplein train station was the terminus of the Hofplein - The Hague line.
The background of the work shows several schools, which has a personal significance for me as I once received an education there. This element adds an extra layer of connection and memories to the artwork.
The digital medium offers the opportunity to capture the details of the Hofplein train station and the surrounding area down to the smallest nuances. The composition and colour palette have been carefully chosen to emphasise the atmosphere of Hofplein and the movement of the train.
The "Hofplein train" digital work is a tribute to this historic train station and its vibrant surroundings. It captures the energy and rhythm of city life and evokes a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with this special area.
