From the iconic facades of the Herengracht to the gleaming skyline of the Zuidas, An Amsterdam Composition brings together two business worlds. Separated by centuries, yet deeply connected through ambition, architecture, and identity. In this imagined cityscape, a row of familiar canal houses forms the base, a tribute to the Gouden Bocht, once the beating heart of global trade during the Dutch Golden Age. Rising behind them are the defining towers of today’s Zuidas, each chosen for its architectural character and the role it plays in shaping Amsterdam’s modern business narrative.

By placing these historic and contemporary landmarks side by side, the work reflects on how the city has evolved. It highlights the shift in power and presence, from merchant townhouses to international headquarters, while also honoring what remains: a deep-rooted culture of enterprise, design, and reinvention. This contrast is not conflict, it’s a composition. An Amsterdam composition.
