The straight lines of the church and the difference in mass between the planes and the those of the branches, inspired to make this piece.

The pond next to the dutch house of Parliament and the Prime Minister’s tower at the left, at The Hague, Netherlands.
I was lead by the cubist qualities of the Streets of Culemborg, a city in the centre of the Netherlands, in Gelderland.
Leiden is famous for its canals and I makes me sentimental when they remind me of my time as a student, walking back drunk from a party feeling sick smelling the water.
A graphite pencil drawing of Leiden, city at Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, where I lived for a long time and this site is to be seen from the Burcht (Castle) looking at the Hartebrugkerk (church).
The city where I studied international and european competition law and where I lived for 11 years.
The central pond at the Haagse Bos (The Hague Forest). I wanted to make the reflections look convincing even though there was plenty of figurative abstraction.
I wanted to do the dutch parliament in my roundish style without loosing the characteristics of the facade and buildings.
A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.
Breaking up a forest into planes of light, darkness and cubistic forms. It’s called ‘The Valley of the Philisophers’ (Filosofendal) at Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands (Nederland).
I liked doing the facets like a diamond in this one. It’s with a private collector now.
The reference picture was not too great so I had to add a lot of things to it, like the moon and in the body.
I liked the model being thin so I could easily detect cubistic planes.
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.
I experimented with stronger lines and edges like featured on a futuristic machine.
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to have it as abstract as possible without losing the essence of the female body.
I loved to let the women’s forms flow into the sheets around and let them be a part of the body. Mass that desintegrates into lines around it.
I particularly like this one because of the cubist quality of the abdomen muscles and the compositionary division of the negative space in big planes.
This cubism-like drawing look rather like stained glass to me, now I look back at it.
Graphite pencil drawing of an art deco-like model. I liked the cubist quality of the hairs.
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.
