DRIFT founder Lonneke explains
Lonneke Gordijn, the visionary artist behind DRIFT and Drone Stories, draws inspiration from the artistry of Vincent van Gogh, embarking on a journey to translate his works into unprecedented creations. With a deep understanding of van Gogh’s brushstrokes, Gordijn pioneers a groundbreaking approach, employing pixels as brushstrokes, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Through this innovative technique, she crafts an immersive experience where drones become the vessels of light, weaving an enchanting tapestry in the sky, bringing van Gogh’s timeless masterpieces to life in a manner never seen before.
