Ideas for his hyperrealistic artwork come naturally to Adrian Sommeling

"On the search for creativity, you might need to break some personal walls." That's what Adrian Sommeling, based in the Netherlands, believes. The artist returned to photography four years ago - and is a master of digital art, graphic design and web development, who knows the advertising industry inside out. Adrian deeply believes teamwork to be one of the best means to improve and get any company’s achievements. In his early days, his focus lay on graphic and web design. Now photography, or rather digital art, have become his main aim. What used to be canvas, oils and brushes gave way to pc or laptop screens and the digital brushes in Photoshop.

In his spare time, Adrian creates photos out of surreal situations, his son frequently being the main character of the scene. Through his son, Adrian finds himself able to disclose his own past and future stories.
