Sans titre – 21-08-15
Part of the sans titre series, being Anne Baxter, American actress and celebrity.

With this one I felt confident to explore the connection of the dominant figure with the negative space around it by incisions across both spaces. By extending lines through the direction of body parts I got geometric figures outside that mirror them.
Part of the sans titre series, being Audrey Tautou, French actress and celebrity.
I thought it would be appropiate to let the model disappear into the negative space all around her so she would be lying there, scattered across the floor and so I did.
A cubist graphite pencil drawing that I personally find to be succeeded.
An impressionistic view on the buttocks of my favourite model.
Part of the sans titre series. This one is Sari Maritza, American actress and celebrity of the 1930s. It is with a collector from Germany now.
Part of the sans titre series, put in my roundism style: American actress and celebrity Gloria Swanson.
An impressionistic view from royal estate ‘De Horsten’ near Voorschoten over the meadows towards The Hague.
Graphite pencil drawing of the Riverside at Rotterdam Overschie, Netherlands.
Part of the roundism series. The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) is around the corner from where I live.
A sketch I did of Rotterdam Overschie, at the river Schie.
When I saw this photo for the first time I didn’t know what to think of it. I do not relate to so-called romantic art of ballerinas and dancers striking great poses. Therefor I had to come up with something different and I was intrigued by the pose nevertheless.
I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.
A continuation of the roundism series. I particularly like this one because I like the pose and the fluidity that speaks. It’s a kind of zig-zag pattern that appeals to me. It’s with a private collector from the U.S.
A portrait of my distinguished colleague in art Julai Filament, drawn in Rotterdam, made in a live session at Rotterdam.
This surrealistic drawing was the cornerstone of this series for now. One drawing and three paintings would follow. The drawing is with a private collector from France now.
Next to a pastel I did a graphite pencil drawing as a commission. I made her slightly surrealistic with the flow lines hovering over her body.
Variation 11 show a return to straight lines and planes. I wanted to put less stress on the body and more on the planes as a whole – in- and outside the body and communicating.
Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.
Variation nr 9 shows a further development and I felt more and more confident to show more. This one I found it to be a success and a prestudy for The Madonna of The Hague later that year.
This one already takes on the shape of today’s roundism. By blending / fading graphite I was able to get a very soft look.
A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.
I am not quite satisfied with this variation. It look static. And the tiny strokes contouring her body look daft to me (in retrospective).
Variation nr 5 in which I experimented with ball structures – put on the main joints in the human body.
Variation nr 3 being the roundism version. It’s in the U.S. now with a private collector.
