In almost every piece of landscape art, human emotions are projected onto nature. However, nature does not experience emotions as we do and attributing emotions to landscape stems from the need to humanise everything around us, in order to understand what is beyond our imagination.

I'm trying to capture the landscape as is. Photography could provide a solution if the experience of landscape would differ from the photographic (read geometric) registration. I am attempting to correct this difference. I create what I experience or what one could experience when one is part of the landscape. I also play with the apparent chaos of nature. It's all about perception.

About
The never-natural landscapes of the Netherlands and their human influences are explored in the works of the artist Jurgen Rooijackers. The Dutch artist, who studied photography and later graduated from art school in 1999, restarted his art career in 2020 after several years of working for people with less luck in life.
Passionately dedicated to the vast possibilities of digital photography and image manipulation as both a medium and a cultural epoch, Rooijackers' narratives draw inspiration from the total diversity offered by the visual arts. The phenomenon of landscape is what is currently occupying him.
