Maarten Huizing
Maarten works completely digitally, using 3D models and other digital components to create scenes with an otherworldly feel that maintain warmth through their organic aesthetic. His work often features scenes that feel suspended in time, populated by stone-faced human heads and harsh, metallic objects. Maarten mainly operates in the music industry, making posters and visual identities for music events and designing album artwork for artists. He also enjoys working on editorial illustrations for newspapers, magazines and podcasts.

Paradigm Festival
