Visual artist, currently living and working in Helsinki, Finland.

Please check out my website at www.joachimbeens.com.

This account acts as a repository for (a small portion of) my photos. It features art (mostly paintings), materials (often to be used (as inspiration) for texture maps), architecture, artifacts, video game screenshots and panoramas, and miscellaneous subjects of aesthetic and tactile value and/or related to optics.

Many of the photos of paintings I post will contain the frame. It is often curiously missing from photographs, despite their importance for an artwork's impression and provenance, and usually is a piece of art in its own right.
