Hilly Van Eerten

I am a Dutch artist making digital art in prints on paper or dibond.
My name is Hilly van Eerten - I am living and working in Amsterdam city, The Netherlands.


* About my digital art - I make from 2015

In my digital art I combine parts of my photos which I make in the Dutch big cities.

How I work? It is in my view a kind of spatial collage art in several layers I create my digital prints by fusing, combining and mixing together selected images form my photos, in different digital layers. So there grows a new destillated image. That's how I work and create.
I like very much to mix, fuse and combine the images, but only! from my own photos. Because I first need to experience and feel the contact. It is this meeting between my eyes and the city, before being able to re-work and edit my visual material.
This is the source for creating my recent digital print art - and also my former mono-print art before 2015. That's also why my digital art always contains different layers and colors.

The subjects for my photography I find in the Dutch large cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague. In 2015 I started to make my graphic art in a digital way. I made them from my photos of modern architecture, street scene...
