In the high-octane world of racing, there exists a transcendent moment, often whispered about but rarely captured—the "flow state." It's that ephemeral space where drivers become one with their machines, where time seems to stretch, and every decision is made with unerring precision.  
"Flow State" is Oostenbroek's visual ode to this phenomenon. Through his distinctive lens, he distills the essence of this heightened state of consciousness, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the racer's mind. The artwork is less a representation and more a feeling, an immersion into the racer's world where everything else fades, and only the road exists. Experienced as a high resolution video "Flow State" is a testament to the confluence of art, emotion, and speed.

The original Arcus collection by Rik Oostenbroek.

Arcus #9 - Balance

SILENT WAVE  1/1. It's kind of crazy to see how I developed myself during the past 15 years. From doing hectic chaotic pieces  into an artist that's a sucker for simpler approaches and let the colors and forms do all the talking. It's actually quite similar the way I've developed myself as a human being when looking back. 3000 x 4500 px.

Arcus #10 - Autobahn

the indecisive (2023)  
-  
1/1  
-  
Title says it all, this is me, a self portrait.  
In the end a product can never be finished in one way. Especially not when striving for perfection. Perfection doesn't exist.  
-  
But while tweaking the end phase for days I figured there is only one thing that made sense. A version that held all 4 moods I tried to capture. 

Boldness, Serenity, Nostalgic and Clean.

Flow State by Rik Oostenbroek

Momentum encapsulates pivotal moments of velocity and engineering in a curated set of 200 evocative images. Every detail, every nuance, is a testament to the relentless pursuit of perfection. Crafted with a system that zeroes in on the quintessential race lap and the myriad challenges drivers confront, "Momentum" marks Rik's debut in the realm of 3D generative processes. While Rik's signature lies in meticulously chosen color palettes, this collection ventures into uncharted territory, allowing data and machine to dictate the final outcome. The result? A revolutionary ensemble, echoing a harmonious dialogue between artist and algorithm, reminiscent of the symbiosis between driver and vehicle.

Leveraging unparalleled 8K resolution, "Momentum" is crafted for both pristine digital display and as stunning fine-art prints.

Verloop — Dégradé | #7a63f9

Verloop – Dégradé begins with a creative exchange between Rik Oostenbroek's artistic vision and David Aerne's generative systems. First, Oostenbroek carefully crafted his signature gradients by hand. 
Aerne then created custom algorithms to transform these gradients into dynamic digital compositions. Through various iterations, the algorithm generated variations that kept the original essence while creating fresh interpretations.

The gradients were handpicked by Oostenbroek from numerous algorithmic outputs for the book edition (premiered at the Paris Photo 2024 Art Fair in Grand Palais). 
He selected them based on their beauty, striking contrasts, or unexpected elements that caught his eye. 

Each collector is eligible to claim the book edition co-published by Nguyen Wahed & RRose Editions, 2024. ISBN : 978-2-9586199-7-8

Core properties of the algorithm

`bookSeed`: The seed used to generate the piece in the book.
`gradientName`: String representing the name of the palette used from the selected gradient generated from a collection. 
The names are generated using a collection of 30241 names that David Aerne collected over the course of several years.
`phases`: Number indicating how many steps are used in the gradient generation
`flow`: String indicating the modification type for the gradient. Can be one of:
Noise - More chaotic outputs.
Pow - Incrementally growing gradients.
Linear - Straight lines.
Sin - Wave Shaped Gradient.
Cos - Wave Shaped gradient.
`focus`: Number value that affects the gradient's zoom level.

Layout Properties of the algorithm:

`orientation`: String indicating the overall orientation of the piece: Either "horizontal" or "vertical"
`gradientOrientation`: String indicating how the gradients themselves are oriented: Can be "horizontal", "vertical", or "random"
`irregularStipes`: Boolean indicating whether irregular stripe widths are used
`reversedGradientOrder`: Boolean indicating whether the gradient order has been reversed
