I'm honored to share exciting news about my recent artist collaboration. When Netflix reached out to me to suggest working on this fantastic project for their Amsterdam Headquarters, I couldn't believe it. I was given the full artistic freedom to create 25 murals based on Netflix Original series and movies with one condition — all heroes and iconic imagery should be recognisable with given personality and dramatic interest.
Artworks are presented as large tiles in Delft Blue style, famous for its cobalt blue colours. Inspired by 17th century Delftware installation in Rijksmuseum, the tiles are mounted on the deep blue wall forming a modern hint to the traditional Royal palace decorations.
In the November issue #179 of fantastic ImagineFX magazine, you can read the full 6-page article about the project and check out a step-by-step Workshop featuring painting based on the sci-fi film Annihilation.
Annihilation is based on the novel by Jeff VanderMeer. The story follows a group of scientists who enter "The Shimmer", a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating plants and animals.
I hope you’ll find these concepts and example helpful and enjoy painting with me! And of course, become inspired to read more sci-fi books by Bradbury, Asimov and Vonnegut.
