Cubism, impressionism and surrealism forged in art creations
I was visiting the new established museum at estate ‘Voorlinden’ at Wassenaar, Netherlands and saw the old mansion next to the new museum building and this inspired be to combine them in a coloured pencil drawing.
One out of the series ‘sans titre’ after the moviestar ‘Gene Tierney’ in the roundism style.
This one is based on the swimming pool full of optical illusions at Museum ‘Voorlinden’ at Wassenaar, The Netherlands.
The town of Vlaardingen (near Rotterdam) depicted in roundish forms. This is a view on the harbour in the center with the ‘Grote Kerk’ (‘Big Church’) at the background.
Another example of the roundism series, ever continuing. This one is the conclusion of a series of 15 drawings on the same theme.
A cubistic / roundism kind of style of Schiedam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam.

Part of the bigger roundism series and reason why I got blocked by Facebook. It had serious issues with nude at that time. Since then its policy on nudity has changed after a couples of scandals that made the press.

Part of the roundism series. This one is with a private collector in the United States.
Part of the roundism series and a continuation of the search of opening up structures like a female body by connecting parts tonally.
In this piece from the roundism series I take a step further and mess about with form distortion The cuts in the body parts are more extreme than in previous drawings.
I liked the jumping quality of the model making a jump and tried to emphasize the round shapes – like the breasts and buttocks – popping out.
A little pond situated in the Ooij Polder, Gelderland, Netherlands, near Nijmegen, caused me a lot of trouble. I saw human figures in the treeline and the water reflections but I had to come up with some subtlety so I wouldn’t attrack all the attention to the figures as well to the trees as a given realistic fact.
Part of the sans titre series depicting Simone Simon, a French actress from the 1950s.
In my ever quest for finding styles and new ways of rendering I found myself challenged by this picture of Ingrid Bergman, famous Swedish-American moviestar and celebrity of the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and part of the 1970s.
Part of the roundism series. This one is all about the central piece of the figure, communicating with the negative space around it.
Part of the roundism series but is marked by some kind of Man Ray photographical surrealism as well.
I was visiting Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen at Rotterdam, Netherlands together with colleague artist Julia Filament, when she saw an artistic lamp hanging from the ceiling in front of her nose.
A drawing through which I succeeded to base my principles of my kind of cubism – roundism.
Part of the roundism series. It’s almost realistic but still to be called styled in a cubistic way.
In retrospective this is an ode to my deceased cat who died in November 2016. This is her, reclining in the sun, a couple of months earlier, when she was still going strong.
