The sans titre series continued in 2015 in bigger dimensions (A4). This one is Ginger Rogers, american actress and starring next to Fred Astaire in fabulous dance movies in the 1930s). She is with a private collector now in the United States.
Impression of an Amsterdam sunset – 19-12-14 (sold)
This is the pastel drawing of the prestudy I made in graphite a month before. I like the sun that sets not underneath the horizon but in a window somewhere in a cityscape.
Lot & Janik – 07-12-14 (sold)
A commission I took to render two people in an angular cubistic style, preserving realism in an impressionistic way.
A 4th tribute to Man Ray (Lee Miller) – 03-11-14 (sold)
Another cubistic tribute to Man Ray. This one is with a private collector from the United States.

Roundism – 06-10-14 (sold)
A pastel in the roundism series. I think it might be the first one. Looking back I think I was very risky with the colour scheme but I wanted to enforce the jump-like figure. It’s owned now by a private Chinese collector.
A 4th tribute to Bettie Page – 16-09-14
Bettie Page became a sweet taste in my mouth so I rendered her in pastel in reds and greens.
Round cubism – 14-08-14 (sold)
A piece that stands on its own because I found it not to be a part of the ‘birth of new cubism series. In its sort it’s the birth of ’roundism’, sprouting from the ‘birth of new cubism’ series that survived right till this day.
The birth of new cubism 28-07-14 (sold)
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism series’. It’s now in the United States with a private collector of my works.
The birth of new cubism – 27-07-14
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. For this one I used an old photograph I suspect might be from the 1950s.
Castle Duivenvoorde – 20-07-14 (sold)
A view on Castle Duivenvoorde at Voorschoten, Netherlands. Not quite satisfied with this one. I think it’s too stiff.
Estate Oosterbeek – 15-07-14 (sold)
A realistic / impressionistic pastel drawing of estate ‘Oosterbeek’, at The Hague, Netherlands.
The birth of new cubism 3 – 28-04-14 (sold)
Another drawing that marks the beginning of my search for a renewal of cubism.
The birth of new cubism 1 – 14-06-14 (sold)
The first of two drawings at one day on the same theme. This one is the minimalistic cubist one.
Mill ‘De Vlieger’ – 09-06-14
I was inspired by Mondriaan’s orange mill when I did this piece. I executed it in quite expressionistic colours.
Sans titre – 07-05-14 (sold)
Part of the ‘sans titre’ series, being the depiction of old moviestars in a cubist style. I sold this one to a guy who recognized Brigitte Bardot and in fact she is.
The Birth of New Cubism 2 – 01-05-14 (sold)
After the start of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series I got the hang of it and sometimes made 2 drawings at one day just to give shape to my ideas.
The birth of new cubism – 01-05-14 – 1 (sold)
A cubistic drawing in which I started to divide the negative space into planes by extending the dimensions of body parts to the borders of the paper.
Sans titre – 10-05-14 (sold)
A drawing of Marlène Dietrich in the ‘sans titre’ series done in cubistic planes. I love the tonality of such pictures, enabling me to create a lot of depth, expression and character.
Elementary Particles (2014) (sold)
An early very abstract cubist pastel that I like to do. The planes look so scatteered that I decided to call it ‘elementary particles’. It’s in Quatar now bought by a private collector.
Flowering Trees (2014) (sold)
Longing for spring makes me post this one. I closely studied Camille Pisarro and saw leaves, blossom transcending into the negative space around it very gradually.
Royal Estate ‘De Horsten’ (2014) (sold)
Pastel drawing of the main canal at royal estate ‘De Horsten’, near Wassenaar, Netherlands. It’s owned by a Chinese collector now.

A rather expressionistic approach to one of my favourite spots in The Netherlands – Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen where I grew up.
Cubistic Nude 07 (2014) (sold)
With this pastel I was unfolding my way of cubism with different means than graphite only. This one is in Scotland in the hands of a private collector.
