Drawings
Nude – 06-04-15
After the last graphite pencil drawing I realized something was missing, not the nude of course. That style was realistic or impressionistic, something I am skilled at for a long time now.
View on Zyfflich from Devil’s mountain – 04-04-15 (sold)
A realistic pencil drawing that is with a private collector in the U.S. now.
The Hague (Halstraat) – 12-03-15
An impressionistic view on the Halstraat, a small street in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands. I was fascinated by the blocked in light column showing lots of depth in front and back to the church in the background.
Maria Harp – 04-03-15 (sold)
This drawing was a commissioned one, depicting Maria Harp, a dutch-american jazz singer. Although it look cubistic I consider it not to be. Perhaps an extreme styling but the forms remain closed.
Roundism – 02-03-15
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to create a kind of psychedelic effect around the buttocks of the woman.
Sans titre – 05-02-15
I was drawn to the cubistic qualities the model created by posing this way, creating a beautiful rhythym of light and dark planes in her body.

A combination of my love for American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page and roundism.

Part of the sans titre series, depicting moviestars and celebrities. This one is Jane Fonda in a slight cubistic way.
The birth of new cubism – 25-12-14
The last one I named that way. It’s a prestudy for a pastel that followed. A Tunesian girl Asma that I met on Facebook was the model.
Lot & Janik – 07-12-14 (sold)
A commission I took to render two people in an angular cubistic style, preserving realism in an impressionistic way.

Part of the roundism series. This look rather art deco-like I think.
Impression of an Amsterdam sunset – 17-11-14
I was intrigued by the sunset in a cityscape.
Reclining nude – 16-11-14
A sort of impressionism, clairobscur meets a slight cubistic edge of thing I think. I like when it contains different ‘isms’.

Another cubistic tribute to Man Ray. This one is with a private collector from the United States.

The birth of new cubism – 27-10-14
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. One of the last I think. After this I would drop the name.
Queen Maxima – 17-10-14
Now I found my groove in cubism it was time to put some dutch royalty on paper.
