A day at the beach – 16-03-19 (sold)

This drawing is to celebrate human achievements and imagination in particular. To see one thing in another is something very real, surreal and metaphysical altogether.

Surrealistic nude graphite pencil drawing

The artist and his model – 22-02-19 (sold)

This drawing is to celebrate the holy bond between the artist and his model.

Surrealistic portrait graphite and colored pencil drawing

Mira (2019) (sold) A commission for a drawing of a young woman that I already painted 9 years ago. Then a teenager, now a young woman and an excellent way to study the same face grown up. Special request was it to use the same color combination as in my drawing ‘sans titre – 06-10-16’ (depicting Natalie Wood). I focused on the geometrical shapes, almost wave-like throughout the wave and kept it in my egypt fashion, because that is the

The brown eyed girl (2018) (sold)

The brown Eyed Girl (2018) (Sold) A commission for a classic portrait. I focused on the complexion of the beautiful young woman from indonesian and dutch origin, showing a great mixture of madder red, burnt sienna, green, purple, yellow and blue hues in her face. I decided to put the stress on the face and the hands and therefor asked her to wear something dark. It’s a hint to dutch masters of the 17th century that did the same in

Surrealistic Frida Kahlo nude graphite pencil drawing

Sans titre – 11-10-18 (sold)

I am not sure what I thought about her, except for her strong personality. I sometimes liked her paintings and then I didn’t. What I have in common with her is that we both are autodidacts and that we like(d) to go our own way in life. Somehow I always come across her once in a while and that is why I decided to draw her. I saw a lovely – rare – nude photograph and thought I’d include her in my sans titre / roundism series.

Holy Vortex! – 05-10-18 (sold)

I just loved to break up a female’s body into vortices of vibrant colours one time and so this is the smashing result.

Leidschendam – 01-09-18 (sold)

Once I was at the roof top of a friend of mine who held an exhibition in her home at Leischendam, looking over ‘De Sluisjes’ (the locks) in the centre.

Roundism – 04-08-18 (sold)

Creation is a transformational process. I am fascinated by the thought I evoke chaos turning my graphite pencil fillings into dust and my pencil eraser into crumbles, but at the same time creating something new.

Cubistic Diana Ross graphite pencil drawing

Sans titre – 08-06-18 (sold)

I always liked Diana Ross (except for that ghaslty song ‘My Old Piano’) and when I saw a video recently I was intrigued by this shiny 80-dress oozing out glitter and glamour.

Roundism – 27-04-18 (sold)

This drawing started out with the framing of a circle, being the model’s right breast.

Roundism – 07-04-18 (sold)

In this graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 07-04-18 (Sold)’ I focused on triangular structures. A body can often show them when posing in a slanted position.

Cubistic Myrna Loy portrait graphite pencil drawing

Sans titre – 26-03-18 (sold)

Seeing a photo of 1930s moviestar Myrna Loy reminded me of why I like this kind of photography so much.

Roundism – 13-03-18 (sold)

Some years back I saw an incredible oil painting by Herman Gouwe of a sunset in cyan, yellow, purple and red and I it baffled me. How could bright shining light ever be portrayed better than this.

Hommage to a dying horse – 02-03-18 (sold)

Some time ago I saw two horses when I walked across a small meadow. I was on my way to Museum Singer at Laren, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. It so happened that they were standing close to my favorite tree I painted years ago (Autumn Tree at Laren).

Roundism – 06-02-18 (sold)

Recently I saw a picture of a model passing by posing a great triangular shape.

Roundism – 02-02-18 (sold)

Based on a prestudy in pastel (Model – 01-12-18) I made this painting in oil. My objective was to stay in line with the fauvist colour kind of strokes (in case of the pastel they were pretty much ‘broken’ and ‘open’ strokes / patches) but also to get to a more abstract feel by means of rendering the model slighty cubistic.

Roundism – 11-01-18 (sold)

Of late I use models lubed with a lot of oil, just like this art deco-style photograph, in order to obtain great highlights, lovely midtones and smashing darker tones, all divided by abrupt threashold values.

Sans titre – 05-01-18 (sold)

A new one in the sans titre series depicting Gone with the Wind actress Vivian Leigh. I like her cool looking appearnce hiding a turmoil of complex emotions, wandering from depression, alcoholism to briljant actorship and back, ending in her death by tuberculosis.
