Pastel study 03 (2013) (sold)
A study left ‘open’ quite a bit. I like it and going to do more like these one day.

A male nude (done a little bit expressionically) for a change (made at Studio Brugman, at Voorburg Netherlands).
The original impressionistic pastel drawing of a nude after which I made a copy for a Chinese collector in December 2016.
There is so much colour to be found in shadows. I hardly use unsaturated colours in them because then it looks so brownish and I can’t relate to that. This found its way to a Chinese collector.
classical piece that went to China. They love such classic art over there.
A commissionary piece for my dear colleague Humphrey Brugman, with some surrealistic elements added.
It’s not that often that I like to finedetail a drawing but in the case of portraying Nicole Kidman I liked to see how far I could push my own style of hatched strokes with my Derwent pastel pencils (I hardly use).
A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.
I love those old colonial post cards of exotic nudes. This one is based on such a card but of course with the addition of extreme colours.
This pastel is done after a 1920’s picture I found in an art deco-community online.
Named after the same song by David Bowie. I made this piece as a protest against all organized religion.
A commissionary piece for the parents of a little girl. I asked for some liberty because the girl wanted to have flowers in the painting, so to avoid being corny I put some surrealistic elements in it.
In 2009 my bathroom was finished and I was taking a bath. Due to lavender oil I dreamt away and saw a woman floating towards me.
A still life in which I tried to combine cubism and realism in such respect that the cubistic papaya would be looking realistic as well.
A commissionary piece for someone who loves the blues. Robert Johnson with his guitar walking from the departing train.
A painting I made for my exhibition in 2008 at museum ‘Marishuis’ at Heumen, Gelderland, Nederland.
One of the many oil paintings but few still lifes I made throughout the years.
Not a real surrealistic painting but almost ‘alternative realism’. A woman reading the newspapers. One used condom on the floor, half a bottle of wine with two empty glasses. One cup of coffee on bed.
Twice it came back to me because of the partner of the purchaser didn’t agree with the vibrator. The third time was a charm.
Since my birth I am a fan of big empty spaces. I painted this one in my previous apartment at the Erasmusweg, The Hague, Netherlands and used it as a stage to suggest emptiness.
