Roy Kerckhoffs Art

I am a scientist-turned- artist in Carlsbad, California. In my work I love bold textures as these are created by passing time, therefore putting emphasis on bygone days. In particular, I aim to show the beauty that exists in human-made wooden, concrete and steel structures contrasting with soft organic forms from nature. My favorite subjects are industrial objects, ghost towns and coastal themes with an element of human origin in it. I portray these with high-contrast black and white photographs and hand color the photographs with different media, including oils, acrylics and pastels, using similar techniques as in the early days of photography. My frames have a relation with the subject matter, such that the final product is an integrated whole.

On my channel I share with you the creation of my work.

I post a new video every Saturday at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time.
