Joost Speet

Born in the small village Nieuwveen in the so called area "The Green Heart of Holland" in the year 1948 I spent my youth in the middle of pure nature. There I started photographing very young and developed my sense for natural phenomenons by making yourneys in different environments.
The relationship between man and nature, human action and intervention in our urban and rural public space is my fascination to portray in two- and three dimensional artwork.
