Description of the Artwork “Carillon”
In a world hidden beyond the reach of ordinary maps, where ancient forests stretched beneath endless twilight skies, there wandered a mysterious creature known only as Carillon. Neither beast nor spirit, Carillon was a being born from imagination itself. Upon its back it carried a magnificent carillon—a collection of shining bells and resonant gongs that swayed gently with every step. As it traveled, the bells sang soft melodies and the gongs echoed deep, haunting tones that rolled through the shadows like distant thunder. Carillon journeyed through the dark forests of this fantasy realm, following forgotten paths tangled with roots and mist. The woods were filled with strange creatures and unseen dangers, yet the music of the bells illuminated the darkness in its own way. Each note seemed to awaken hidden wonders: glowing flowers opened along the path, sleeping spirits stirred among the trees, and curious creatures emerged from the shadows to listen.

Ed Schaap, Netherlands
My name is Ed Schaap, I was born in Sittard, Limburg, Netherlands in 1965. As a child, I already showed a penchant for fantasy and science fiction movies and series that were shown on television at the time. Especially around the time movies like Star Wars and Alien came out, I was fascinated and fascinated by this unknown world. As for the art that I create, I have to say that I have been influenced and inspired by certain artists and concept artists, but over time I have found my own way. The works that I create are, as a rule, subjects from history, myths and legends, as well as things from everyday life. I give my own vision. In the beginning I used an airbrush. At a certain point, I started to miss a few things in my work. While experimenting with the combination of brush and airbrush, I realized that the painterly effect of brushwork was the missing element in my work. With these two components together in my recent work I find the result satisfactory. Despite this result, I also started painting with oils. Here a completely new world opened up for me, for example, the colors obtained with oil paint are almost impossible to create with acrylic paint.
