Visual Artist
Rik is a digital artist known for his bold use of color and new ways to create abstraction. He is fluent in styles ranging from 3D graphics and photo manipulation to illustration and traditional art mediums.
Seamless Creativity
Rather than starting within the limitations of a defined idea, Rik tries to create an organic form that takes on a life of its own. His creative process is spontaneous and he aims to bring fresh angles to his work—never settling on a single approach.
“It's not about reinventing myself, but more about putting my work in a new perspective.”
Rik Oostenbroek
Digital Artist
While music and a blank canvas are Rik’s starting point, finding his flow requires the immediate feedback he gets from working in 3D with Z by HP. Powerful computing brings his workflow in 3D even closer to that in 2D, and the results are that much more seamless.
Rik continues to explore more and more installations and sculptural work—bringing the digital and physical worlds together to create a new context for his vibrant work.
Rik embraces the challenge of a new software or medium in order to keep evolving as an artist. His advice for staying agile? “Incorporate new things and evolve as a creative over time. Never settle and never stop learning.”
