  • Portraits (1)

    Most of the portraits I create start with a brief encounter — a moment when I cross paths with someone who catches my attention. These are not commissions; they are glimpses of people whose faces linger long after they have disappeared into the crowd.

    This is a photo of a framed print entitled 'Mickey' hanging on a white wall between two windows. The print measures 55 x 55 cm. It is a colourful, deconstructed, cartoon-style image of a face against a grey background, in a lavender frame.

    I recognise a familiar disconnection in the way they carry themselves — a solitude that persists even when they’re with other people. It is their facial expressions that trigger me. The reality of illness or inner struggle is etched into their faces, visible for a brief moment to a passing stranger.

    Abstract digital artwork titled "Rokende Man Een". The image shows a stylized, surreal figure of a man smoking a cigarette. His face is composed of exaggerated, brightly colored geometric shapes in electric blue, pink, and yellow. He has two uneven eyes with black pupils, mint green eyelids, and a pointed blue hat or hair shape. One hand holds a lit cigarette, with smoke rising in blue puffs. His other hand rests on a large pink oval belly. The background is split diagonally with hot pink on the left and bright yellow on the right. The style is bold and playful, resembling modernist or cubist influences, with a cartoon-like simplicity and vibrant contrast.

    These portraits capture the fleeting vulnerability of awkward expressions, subtle gestures, and confused gazes. I recognise their essence: pure, vulnerable and somewhat lost. In that sense, these are portraits of all of us.

  • My Portfolio

    It’s been quite a busy week and I’m pleased to see that the website is making good progress. The main focus this week has been the portfolio.

    Photo of artist Ingmar Spit's workshop. We see art hanging on the wall behind a desk with a laptop, a screen, a mouse and prints laying and various drawing tools on the tabletop. Behind the table an open door.

    Prints

    My main body of work are prints, so I have created a “Prints” section first. In it are fine art prints, dye sublimation prints and inkjet prints on acrylic and vinyl. Images that I hand coded, have a link to the code version of the piece for those interested.

    Print queue

    I’ve also set up the “Print Queue” to show you designs that are finished but not yet printed. This is mainly due to cost. Professional printing can be quite expensive, so I am thinking of ways to make these designs into prints through crowdfunding. I am doing some more research on that subject.

    Code

    I’m pleased with how the “Code” section turned out. I was expecting it to be a bit of a struggle, but the images I code by hand fit nicely into a WordPress site. These images are not pictures I uploaded to the server, but pieces of code embedded in the page. If there is a printed version available, a link which will take you to there. I’m still amazed when I see a few lines of code end up on an aluminium platen bursting with color.

    Shop

    I am working on a shop, or two. Though you will be pleased to hear that all prints are available for purchase. If you are interested, please contact me at ingmar[at]bzzrt.com.

    Anyway, thanks for visiting. Your support means the world to me.

    Cheers, Ingmar
