New Website

As of November 1st you can see my artworks on this new website!

The current website is a bit dated after 5 years, so it’s time for a new look. In a design made by my youngest son, I’ve been working hard the past few weeks to fill it with a selection of my work.
Not everything is ready yet, but I’d appreciate it if you take a look.
The current domain name jacobberghoef dot art remains in use and will also bring you on the new website from November 1st.

The photo: Autumn Sunset (6) - Golden Silence. Sunset above the North Sea, seen from where I live in Denmark.

Shrouded (1)

I’m in love with light, I often say.

But when I photographed a sunset the day before yesterday and the sun was shining far too brightly into the lens of the camera, I suddenly wondered if that is true. So am I in love with light, or am I in love with how the light is filtered, veiled or scattered?

When you see pictures of the moon, the light of the sun is bright, monotonous and unmerciful.

Here on earth the light is always filtered by something. The atmosphere, clouds, a canopy, mist…
In fact, all these ‘filters’ make the sunlight much more visible, almost touchable…
I look around me quickly. What can I use to filter out that much too bright sun?

I get down on my knees, in a field of high grass…
Here is the first result of this experiment.
