Paper Art:
Interaction of light and shadow and form. Jan Willem van Swigchem creates paper art, or paper templates, which are mathematically inspired and very precisely executed by hand. People often do not believe they are handmade. Upon close inspection, however, you will note minimal imperfections. This work is purely intuitively conceived. Jan Willem is fascinated by point, line, plane, rhythm, light & shadow. Combining these elements, the possibilities are practically endless. There is no lack of inspiration! The observer is drawn into the work and is triggered to become actively involved in it. The question is what one is actually seeing and it is fascinating to try and figure it out.

The point of view. VanSwigchemDesign is specialised in photography of nature, architecture, landscape and free work. The well trained eyes are able to surprise the observer by detail or by sense of humor. Key to the photographs; composition & light.

Digital Textures: Decay
VanSwigchemDesign is specialised in the making of CG textures which add a lot of fine to very fine detail to any project. Like in real life every material is liable to decay. This can result in f.e.; stains of rust, oxide, paint, wear and tear, like cracks, holes, bumps etc. These textures can be used like brushes or blend-ins thus giving your artwork a real finesse. Standing out in the crowd.
