Rotterdam – Delftshaven – 08-03-16 (sold)
After my drawing of Rotterdam – Coolhaven I wanted to do Delftshaven – another part of the old harbour area of Rotterdam but in a slight cubistic way.
After my drawing of Rotterdam – Coolhaven I wanted to do Delftshaven – another part of the old harbour area of Rotterdam but in a slight cubistic way.
A rather impressionistic view on Coolhaven (part of the harbour of Rotterdam). I made this drawing inspired by a trip to Rotterdam when I passed by the Coolhaven and I lost a contact that day so I saw it quite blurry.
Part of the sans titre series, depicting Bette Davis, American actress and celebrity.
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to open up the body again so a spectator could wander through it freely without being blocked by a closed form.
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Schoonhoven – 22-02-16’ is not typical of the city itself. Some time ago I came to visit the town.
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Marlot – 18-02-16’ is a surrealist one. I started out doing this one impressionistically then I saw the potential for something else
Sometimes it happens that you see faces in trees and water. Such was the case when I came to ‘t Meertje, a place near Ooij and Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands
I wanted to open up the model as maximally as possible without losing the recognition of the anatomical basics. It is with a collector from the United Kingdom now.

An experiment with cubism / roundism applied to a site that’s familiar to me: The former protestant church at the Ooij, at Gelderland, Netherlands.

Part of the roundism series. I liked the edgy feel to the knees creating distinct forms in the negative space around them.
I liked the sausage-form quality of the model reclining on the floor and immediately saw the roundism-styled shapes in it.
A cubist approach to this one. I had so much negative space left that I had to come up with something. I decided to make a kind of super trooper or sun.
Part of the roundism series. I was charmed by the foreshortening in the back and the buttocks of the woman reclining and I wanted to do a combination of straight and round planes and forms.
Part of the roundism series and in the hands of a private collector now.
Part of the roundism series. The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) is around the corner from where I live.
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.

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.
