Cruising the oceans these majestic creatures rule the waterworld. The majestic way they use as little energy as possible in every swing of the tail. I have tried to capture this exact moment and designed this sculpture to swim through you’re living room wall. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #shark #sculpture #art #wip #sharktank #artwork #instaart #modernart #design #contemporaryart #sculptureart #creative #artistic #artist #workinprogress #woodsculpture #work #artstudio #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #wallart #wallartdecor #homedecor #homedecoration

One year ago i worked with @jasserstudio on the Fractal Cabinet. This close up shows the outher skin of the cabinet. Build up layer upon layer of geometric patterns forming the fractals refering to the buidling stones of all things arround us. Let’s start something new soon! @jasserstudio •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #jasserstudio #art #artist #fractals #geometric #geometry #math #pattern #interiordesign #instadaily #wood #woodcraft #craft #design #designart (bij Amsterdam, Netherlands)

I feel the time has come! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #art #drawing #artist #sketch #artwork #illustration #pencil #draw #sketchbook #drawings #blackandwhite #instaart #pencilart #blackandwhiteonly #print #artistic #drawingart #artoftheday #streetart #creative #urbanart #pencildrawing #artsy #ink #bw #artistsoninstagram (bij Amsterdam, Netherlands)
