Nude – 28-08-15
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 28-08-15’ is something totally different from what I normally am up to. Executed in straight lines only.

Graphite pencil drawing of an art deco-like model. I liked the cubist quality of the hairs.
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 11-08-15’ is based on the principles of circularity. Concentric circles draw the attention towards the figure.

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.

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.

I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 02-06-15’ is an attempt to create a female form in motion. I extrapolated contours outside the body

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.

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.

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.

Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.

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.

This one already takes on the shape of today’s roundism. By blending / fading graphite I was able to get a very soft look.

A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.

Variation nr 3 being the roundism version. It’s in the U.S. now with a private collector.


Part of the roundism series. I wanted to create a kind of psychedelic effect around the buttocks of the woman.

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

A somehow expressionistic kind of pastel drawing that came from a live drawing session with my favorite model.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Reclining Nude – 16-11-14’ depicts my regular model lying down on a couch in her home.

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

An early roundism drawing and looking for shapes stemming from the body into the negative space.

This pastel drawing ‘Reclining Nude – 10-11-14’ grew out of my first model session with my regular model. A curious mix of impressionism and expressionism.

A piece that stands on its own because I found it not to be a part of the ‘birth of new cubism series. In its sort it’s the birth of ’roundism’, sprouting from the ‘birth of new cubism’ series that survived right till this day.

Part of the ‘birth of new cubism series’. It’s now in the United States with a private collector of my works.

Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. For this one I used an old photograph I suspect might be from the 1950s.

Another drawing that marks the beginning of my search for a renewal of cubism.

The first of two drawings at one day on the same theme. This one is the minimalistic cubist one.
