Erik Maurits: Artist of Light and Color Transitions

Erik Maurits is a contemporary artist whose work explores the subtle shifts between colors, drawing inspiration from everyday moments where light and hue blend seamlessly. In his work, he starts by capturing these transitions through photography. 

From these photos, Maurits creates translucent artworks, layering ink and transparent materials to mimic the way light passes through and reveals hidden depths. The result is pieces that feel alive, with colors flowing from one to another: deep blues fading into fiery reds, or golden sunset tones merging with deep purples.

To showcase his art, Maurits displays it in custom lightboxes equipped with dimmable LED lights. By adjusting the intensity—from a soft glow to a brighter beam—the viewer can control how the light interacts with the translucent surface.

Through this process, Maurits focuses on the spaces between colors, building bridges rather than barriers. His work invites observers to engage directly, feeling the subtle pulse of light and shadow in a way that echoes the original captured moments. In essence, it’s art born from a single photo, transformed into an interactive experience of color and illumination.
