About the artwork

This colourful digital artwork is inspired by a prehistoric landscape from hundreds of millions of years ago. The tectonic plates move, there is heat and cold, and in the water, the very first life emerges. This dynamism is depicted by the rotational movement in the composition and the bright colours that blend together and slowly form a new landscape and nature.

The idea for this work arose during a visit to Wales. The high cliffs there show hundreds of layers of earth. Thomas Halliday's book 'Otherlands, A World in the Making' was also a major inspiration. In it, there are vivid descriptions of landscapes that disappeared long ago, the remains of which are visible, among others, in the spectacular coastline near Southerndown Bay, where the maker of this artwork was.

'Prehistoric Landscape 1' is a work of art that exudes hope and optimism. It is about the eternity of creation and the continuity of life. The series consists of three works.

In preparation for this work, the artist made several dozen studies using AI. He then completely redrew a small selection and made them to his own liking in the programme Krita.

'Prehistoric Landscape 1' is more than just a cheerful decorative work for above the sofa. You can ask your visitors what they see in it. In doing so, the work can prompt a conversation about the staggering time span involved in the creation (and destruction) of life on earth.
