digital works

As a painter I’ve been working on digital images since the late ’90’s but never saw an oppurtunity in how to use this as a medium as I do in painting. It took ages for an image to render and when it was done the result just wasn’t satisfying.

Nowadays everything works so much faster in terms of rendering, calculating images etc. that the process of creating itself becomes enjoyable. Intuition has always been key in my approach of creating. Now this has become a possibility with the tools available.

A visual world emerges and starts taking shape. Traditional painting incorporated with digital tools, merged intuitively, colorized and shapeshifted again and again until a satisfying result has emerged.

All images are high res. 300dpi and can be ordered as LED print on brushed aluminium.

Jeroen Hofhuizen is a visual artist whose work serves as a captivating exploration at the crossroads of artistic expression, physics, and the enigmatic forces that govern our universe. Informed by a profound curiosity about the fundamental nature of reality, his art delves into the realms of chaos theory, self-organizing systems, and the elusive mysteries of dark matter.

At the heart of Hofhuizen’s artistic practice lies a fascination with the inherent order emerging from chaos. Much like the unpredictable dance of particles in the quantum realm, his creations unfold through a dynamic interplay of randomness and self-organization. Guided by intuition, Hofhuizen allows the inherent beauty of uncertainty to shape his work, mirroring the intricacies found in the very fabric of the cosmos.

Beyond the visible, Hofhuizen’s exploration extends to the invisible forces that shape the universe. Dark matter, an elusive substance that comprises a significant portion of the cosmos, serves as both muse and metaphor in his art. Through abstract forms and elusive patterns, he invites viewers to contemplate the unseen forces that bind the cosmos together, challenging our perceptions of reality.

Hofhuizen’s engagement with the mysteries of the universe extends to the scientific realm, with a particular interest in the research conducted at CERN. The high-energy experiments and exploration of the fundamental building blocks of matter inspire his artistic inquiry. In his work, viewers may find echoes of particle collisions and the ethereal traces left by fleeting subatomic particles.

In essence, Jeroen Hofhuizen’s art becomes a bridge between the aesthetic and the scientific, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty inherent in both chaos and order, the visible and the unseen. Through his unique lens, he illuminates the interconnectedness of art and physics, fostering a dialogue that transcends the boundaries between disciplines and invites us to ponder the profound mysteries of the universe.
