Pieter V.
Visual Artist | Fine Artist & Illustrator
You have a clear idea — or just a spark of one — and need an artist who can turn it into strong, original work fast. With more than 20 years as a visual artist, I bring traditional painting depth, discipline and texture into the digital realm. I listen carefully, work efficiently, and keep communication clear and professional. You receive high-quality original work that feels considered rather than rushed, reliable delivery, and a smooth collaborative process. Client satisfaction is guaranteed. I take concepts from simple sketch to finished artwork across a range of styles. Deliverables include high-resolution digital paintings for canvas or large-format wallpaper, book and album cover art, book illustrations (from serious and complex to playful and whimsical), and custom imagery for logos, business cards, branding, and social media. As a compositor I combine photography, AI-generated material, and 3D renders with digital painting, then completely rework the piece with textured brushes so the final result has the depth and presence of a traditional painting — whether loose and impressionistic or finished to a high level of detail. The same process can also produce monochrome pencil drawings, detailed doodles, or watercolour-style pieces when required. I work comfortably with AI tools and prompt engineering, build 3D scenes in Blender for high-definition renders, and handle RAW photography. I also have experience in graphic design and book typesetting, so I can take care of full cover design and typography if needed. I am proficient in Krita 5.2.9 / GIMP / Photoshop / Inkscape / Blender and keep the skills up to date.
