Waves – High Gloss – Dolomites Series Every so often, an artwork emerges that instantly evokes a feeling of place. A connection to nature so tangible that it seems to bring a fragment of the landscape into your interior. Waves by Dutch artist Swen van der Sangen captures the endless rhythm and movement of the sea in a sculptural wall artwork that radiates depth, tranquility, and energy. Layers of oceanic blues, deep turquoise tones, and subtle sea-green hues flow across the surface like rolling waves moving toward the shore. Light dances across the composition, creating a sense of constant motion, as if the water itself has been frozen in time. The artwork offers the impression of having a piece of the sea hanging on your wall; a moment of calm and movement captured in sculptural form. Handcrafted from resin-coated, hand-rolled paper elements, Waves is composed of hundreds of individually placed rolls that resemble the undulating patterns of water. Positioned at varying heights, these sculptural forms create an intricate relief that mimics the natural movement of waves and currents. The high gloss finish enhances the depth and luminosity of the piece, reflecting light in ever-changing ways and reinforcing the illusion of a living seascape. Drawing on his background in luxury fashion and design, and his education at Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts (2014), Swen van der Sangen combines craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression. His Dolomites Series explores the structures, textures, and rhythms found in nature, translating them into refined wall sculptures that invite both contemplation and interaction. Waves is more than an artwork; it is an experience. A sculptural interpretation of the sea that transforms with the light throughout the day, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its movement, depth, and serenity.
