A sketch I did of Rotterdam Overschie, at the river Schie.
Drawings
Nude – 17-06-15
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.
Nude – 09-06-15
I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.
Nude – 02-06-15
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 02-06-15’ is an attempt to create a female form in motion. I extrapolated contours outside the body
Nude – 28-05-15 (sold)
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.
Julia Filament – 2015-05-20 (Sold)
A portrait of my distinguished colleague in art Julai Filament, drawn in Rotterdam, made in a live session at Rotterdam.
Nude – 18-05-15 (sold)
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.
Nude – 12-05-15
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 12-05-15’ is a mininalist one. Only executed in short strokes and stripes, omitting no essential structures.
Nude – 08-05-15
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.
Nude – 05-05-15 (sold)
Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.
Nude – 03-05-15 (sold)
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.
Nude – 28-04-15 (sold)
This one already takes on the shape of today’s roundism. By blending / fading graphite I was able to get a very soft look.
Nude – 22-04-15 (sold)
A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.
Nude – 19-04-15
I am not quite satisfied with this variation. It look static. And the tiny strokes contouring her body look daft to me (in retrospective).
Nude – 16-04-15
Variation nr 5 in which I experimented with ball structures – put on the main joints in the human body.
Nude – 10-04-15 (sold)
Variation nr 3 being the roundism version. It’s in the U.S. now with a private collector.
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.

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.
Roundism – Bettie Page – 31-01-15 (sold)
A combination of my love for American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page and roundism.

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.
