Inspired by nature, Martijn Schrijver creates surreal digital artworks.

Idea first, image second

In the example below, I began by imagining and sketching the concept. Next, I looked for useful images, like stock photos. I combined the rocky parts of multiple images to compose the chameleon, applying Photoshop cloning, transforming, and blending to make it look natural.

Idea follows image

Sometimes, it's the other way around: an image provides inspiration and helps generate ideas. I often use existing elements from one or more images to create something new. Shapes, textures, or specific details, for instance, may be edited to create a surreal effect.

Clients / Adobe Photoshop

I partnered up with Adobe for exclusive artworks for their campaigns. Also, I was honoured to showcase my work on the Instagram page of Adobe Photoshop for an entire week (day 1,  2 ,  3 ,  4 ,  5 ). During that time, I spoke about my style, motivation, and technical aspects of photo editing.

Unesco

I also teamed up with The Ocean Agency and Adobe for featuring my work at creative exhibitions to draw attention to nature conservation. These physical exhibitions were located in e.g. Paris at the UNESCO headquarters. This has given me great satisfaction.
