cees alfrink

The artwork of Cees Alfrink (education at the Art Academy in Genk , Belgium ) is mainly based upon traditional etching techniques, like line-etching, aquatint and for instance the soft ground etching technique (vernis mou)

A few years ago he came in contact with the giclée printing technology. He was very much attracted by the possibility to make more colorful printing art.

The giclée art printing technology is originated in the USA in the eighties of the last century.
At this moment also in Europe the giclée printing technique is becoming more and more popular amongst graphic artist for making original artwork.

new giclée print

willemstad

After I made a giclée print of the beautiful city of Willemstad, Curacao, I now realized a new and original giclée print of the city of Sittard, in the south of the Netherlands.
In this new giclée print I have visualized the massive tower of the Saint Peter Church together with characteristic houses on the market. Amongst these houses you can find the Saint Michaels Church.
The four snakes in the sky in the form of a cross can be found in the armorial bearings of Sittard.
