In the enchanting city of New York and the Hollywood Hills the artist collective VALENTYN & SÜNDERMANN was born. This creative collaboration between actor and photographer Noah Valentyn and filmmaker Maarten Sündermann began in 2008 and blossomed in their concept studio. Noah and Maarten are driven by a shared passion for images and storytelling. Together, they spun tales through mixed-media paintings. Their process started with sketches and collaborations with prestigious Brands and Agencies, evolving into playful canvases. Digital production, traditional photography, and design were the ingredients that brought their ideas to life. The result was a collection of works that radiated cinematic romance, elegance, and fun – a celebration of their partnership.
