I believe that we need a place to wind down, a place to rest, a place to feel safe, a place to feel good. Ideally, we need to come home where we belong. My art gives that kind of belonging.
The Series
The impressions are a result of months of research, realistically recreating the houses and texturing them before turning it into physical art to own. Explore the different series to find the impression that speaks to you most.
Minimalist
The focus is on the house. The elegance, architecture, and timelessness shines. It’s telling a unique story without distraction. The colours are revealing the emotion. The absence speaks. I am intrigued to look at the house from different angles, from different lights, so I can appreciate the house for what it is.

Daniel Arendzen is the artist and printmaker who prints unique (1/1) hand-made impressions of vernacular architecture many generations calls ‘home’
My work matters
With the rise of AI, I create digital by hand. With mass produced reproductions to consume, I create unique (1/1) pieces of art that will live for generations. Where history, local knowledge and craftsmanship is being replaced with standardised ‘blueprint’-solutions, I research and conserve knowledge woven throughout my work. Not only for me, but for us to keep alive.
Nostalgia
Whereas some traditional houses remain, many of them slowly are fading away and given back to nature. These impressions explore how fragile such sturdy structures are in the context of time. Nostalgia, vintage, perhaps grunge are some of the feelings I get when I see shadows of the houses they used to be. Time moves on, it doesn’t stop. That is what I wanted to capture.

Between the beauty and impossible, home will always speak louder than words – from one generation to the next.
Landscape
Homes need a place to stand, a place to ground, a place you can go to. A place to relax, wind down, enjoy the silence, hours away from buzzing city life. Clean air, beautiful nature, great hikes and the most epic sceneries to let go and re-energise. The house stands there in its full right and that’s truly breathtaking.

History matters
When we forget where we came from, what our shared values are, the lessons we learned from past mistakes, disrespect local environments, unlearn how to live in harmony with nature, and stop talking to our neighbour who might be “different” than us, then we can’t make informed choices about our shared future.
Whenever I see traditional architecture, I will stop, look, ponder and wonder how life was when people called them ‘Home’.
