Nude – 17-10-15 (sold)
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.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude 04-10-15’ a full display of the principles of ambiguous image. Women are foxy!

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 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.
