About the artist
This page introduces Bas Mulder, an artist whose work explores the intersections of image, time, and perception. Here you will discover his practice, his vision, and the stories behind his creations—offering a deeper understanding of what drives his art and the experiences it invites.
“Reflections on life, captured in prints, photographs, and film.”
For me, art is a way of making the ordinary visible and meaningful. Each work begins with a fragment of life—a bold phrase, a jazz rhythm, a fleeting word, or a shifting landscape—and transforms it into layered compositions that invite reflection. They are not conclusions, but questions; not records, but experiences.
My fine art prints and photographs capture reality with intention and care: a sunset over a hill, a rusting bicycle, a handmade stone oven, or the energy of jazz instruments in motion. Works like “Happiness… What Makes Yours?”, “The Jazz Series – No. 2: Saxophone”, and “Threshold / Stop Running, Start Living” combine color, form, and narrative to challenge perception and provoke thought. Each piece is a visual dialogue, an invitation to pause and explore the layers within.
Alongside these, I create one-hour video recordings—uninterrupted glimpses of my journeys. Walking to a hill, meeting locals, traveling through towns, or observing the passing world—these films serve as meditations on time and perception, complementing the insights offered by my prints and photographs.
Every work is an invitation to engage deeply, to see beyond the immediate, and to discover meaning in both art and life.
