Bettie Page
The Restoration of Bettie Page – 01-04-20
In November 2018 I started this project after a prestudy in graphite ‘An archeological memory of Bettie Page – 13-11-18’. Since the canvas size of this painting is bigger than the original drawing the balance between main theme (camel, statue and stele) and the negative space around it should show more coherence.
The premonition of Bettie Page – 08-02-20
My painting ‘The Restoration of Bettie Page’ heads for its final stage of completion. It just feels right to announce the birth of this painting by someone special and who else could do that better than High Priestess herself: Julia Filament?

The reference picture I used was slightly different from the one I used for ‘The revelation of Bettie Page (2018)’.

Bettie Page – 19-05-18

This time I made Bettie somehow rectangular, circular and squareish, matching her perfect female forms to simplifyed geometric shapes, not loosing a hint of impressionistic feel of realism.
Bettie Page – 28-08-17
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Bettie Page – 28-08-17’ is a surrealist one. Finally I got to depict this lovely pin-up once more.
A Metallurgical Approach to Bettie Page – 12-03-17
Bettie Page was an American pin-up of the 1950s that stood for her sexual liberation in an America that yet had to face the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
Bettie Page – 24-02-17
Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.
Bettie Page – 16-01-17 (sold)
With her slender body Bettie Page always has been a great model to put my project ’roundism’ on wheels. There’s not a single curve in her body that doesn’t makes me go cubistic.

The return of Bettie Page – 12-08-15
This is the first roundism oil painting I made of American pin-up and celebrity Bettie Page, after a first drawing I made in the beginning of 2015.
Bettie Page is one person I always admired. Not only she is sexy as hell but also because she deared to flirt with her sexuality in an era throughout the world many were prunes (and still are today).
Roundism – Bettie Page – 31-01-15 (sold)
A combination of my love for American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page and roundism.
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.
A 3rd tribute to Bettie Page – 05-09-14
A third interpretation of American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page in roundish shapes.
A 2nd tribute to Bettie Page – 13-08-14
A second ode to pin-up and 1950s’ U.S. celebrity Bettie Page. I’m thinking of cross-overs here – between realism and cubism. Still not there, I think because I think the forms are rather ‘closed’ in spite of the fact that I like the roundish shapes of the musculature on her back.
Bettie Page – 26-04-14
The first drawing of pin-up and american celebrity from the 1950s Bettie Page, still in my hached style.
