This Drawing is now available as a high quality A2 Giclée print on 265gsm archival paper in an edition of 50. Each print is signed and numbered.

This was made as a present for my newborn nephew.
I loved these types of illustrations when I was growing up, and would stare at them for hours. I wanted to give him the same opportunity, as well as share an introduction to all the fantastic things that he will see in his life. I hope others can get leasure from this as well, so I decided to make this available as prints.

This Drawing is now available as a high quality A1 Giclée print on 265gsm archival paper. They have been signed and numbered and each print includes a unique drawing.

The inspiration for the illustration was inspired by the lack of prescence and appreciation of fleeting moments in our everyday life. It appears to me that our preferences within sensory stimulation is gradually morphing and adapting to the influences of our screens. Not only does it impact how art is viewed through a lack of patience and superficial impressions, but also how we place value on an experience. Seeing the Eiffel tower is easy to explain and share, but the mood of a “normal” moment is personal and often not easily commercialized.

It is fascinating that there in the past was no other way to appreciate the situations unfolding but being present and observant. No integrated sense of having to capture and share it to gain satisfaction from its unique quality. The motifs are scenarios I imagined unfolding natually, without any spectators present. They are simply moments that organically and honestly appear and disappear. It is overwhelming to imagine the infinite amount of unbelievable and unique moments that have taken place, and it is a beautiful thing that we have no idea what they were.
