Stairs of Metro station in Amsterdam 1. - digital art; print is For Sale in Limited Edition of 10 Print

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 scenes and building activities. * About my former mono-print art before 2015. Also in my monoprints From already 2007 I made a kind of collage art in several printed layers - from my photo of the Dutch cities. I realized these collage art in the simple basic-technique of mono-print, printed in two, three or four layers. These printing technique offered me the best possibility to combine in collage art all fragments and new pieces from the cities which fascinate me. All kind of pictures of the large or small  construction sites in the city I visited frequently, to report the growing development of new buildings and constructions.  In my graphic print art I like to picture the daily life of the building new city and all kind of typical modern city-scapes of the Dutch large cities. They have often a their characteristic contradiction of old locations in the historical centers and arising new modern architecture, large buildings, complex constructions and a growing skyline which starts to dominate the old city heart.
