Niko van der Klugt

After 28 years working as a lighting designer, I focussed on digital ART (photography) with projects such as BoerenBuren (Farmers) Beyond the Eye, The Cosmic series and Abstract photo art.
Having always been fascinated by the medium of light, over the years I discovered new ways to express myself through another art form; converting spatial light into photographic images. These can be either figurative, portraits, abstract or more graphic images. All these works consist of an amalgamation of my own photographs, carefully layered imagery, slowly built up into a unique digital universe.

I have created many works / images. I can't show them all, so here's a selection.

PORTRAITS > Colours

All portrait photoshoots starts in my studio, sometimes on location, but alway's from scratch. I don't use artificial light, it's all daylight photography with the help of some reflection boards and a simple grey background. The rest is made in the digital world.

(unreal) LANDSCAPES

I have a camera.

I look into the camera and take pictures. (Saul Leiter)

Landscapes for the mind, expresses atmospheres, fragments of memory, experience..

STUDIO

All the works are Limited Edition Art prints, 1/3 + 1 signed & numbered certificate ofauthenticity at the back of the work. I only work with top printing houses that have extensive experience dealing with Art galleries to make sure the art prints are of the highest gallery / museum quality.
