Daniel.

Daniel Arendzen is the artist and printmaker who prints unique (1/1) hand-made impressions of vernacular architecture many generations calls ‘home’

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.

More about Daniel

Between the beauty and impossible, home will always speak louder than words – from one generation to the next.

Minimalist

The focus is on the house. The elegance, architecture, and timelessness shines

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

Feelings of Nostalgia, vintage or perhaps grunge is evoked. Time and space moves on, it doesn’t stop. When and where the houses are is for everyone different.

History matters

When we forget where we came from, what our shared values are, the lessons we learned from past mistakes, disrespect local environments, and unlearn how to live in harmony with what nature and living together with someone who is different than us, then we can’t make informed choices about our shared future.

Landscapes

Homes need a place to stand, a place to ground, a place to go to. The house stands there in it’s full right.

Whenever I see traditional architecture, I will stop, look, ponder and wonder how life was when people called them ‘Home’.
