Info
Two practices, one fascination: nature, structure and organic form.
I’m Jesper Krijgsman, graphic designer and visual artist in Amsterdam. After 12 years in Zurich I moved back to the Netherlands in 2022, where I combine my own studio with my work as a designer at Jaaf Information Design.
My artworks are exhibited internationally and represented by LUMAS.
Artist statement
I see the creativity in the evolution of flora and fauna as something close to magic. The ingenuity of so many life forms is easily overlooked. That sense of wonder is what I want to show in my work: celebrating the diversity of nature by magnifying its mystical qualities.
My supernatural landscapes are places where biology and dreams merge. They hold my own daydreams as much as the intelligence and magic that nature possesses. I hope they add to the awareness that the natural world is full of wonders, and that we should treat it with more love.
My process combines photography and image editing. I photograph every flower and plant separately, and while editing I often discover new details in shape, colour and texture. These photographed elements are then merged digitally into detailed worlds: scenes in which the mystical qualities of nature are magnified.
By photographing and editing everything myself, and above all by learning about the subjects I photograph, my bond with the natural world has grown stronger.

Collaborators & collectors
A pleasant collaboration on the design of a company website and logo. Jesper is very creative, thinks along with you and takes his time for you. He is highly inventive in turning words into visuals and ideas into a clear structure. Highly recommended!
I had the pleasure of working with Studio Jesper Krijgsman for my single’s cover art, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Jesper is a fantastic person to work with: meticulous, creative, and really dedicated to bringing a vision to life.
We discovered Jesper’s work by chance when his partner casually mentioned in our showroom that he created art as well. We fell in love with it the moment we saw it and immediately recognized its potential as an art print. Jesper has since become one of our top sellers—with that initial piece ranking among our top five best-selling works—and he consistently delivers his art in top quality, ready for immediate printing in any size.
