Bastet – 15-10-24
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Bastet – 15-10-24’ is made in honor of dutch artist Bart van der Leck. Or should I say his famous painting ‘De Kat’?

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sands of Time – 23-03-24’ follows exactly one month after my last one ‘Cleopatra – 23-02-24’.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Cleopatra – 23-02-24’ refers to a work under the same name I made back in 2018.

It is World Animal Day and I miss my cat Furia. She sat for me as a model a couple of times and I thought I’d honour her today.

This drawing is a protest and and prestudy altogether. The latter for the sake of a bigger painting and the first because I need to be more clear about nudity once again.

Some time ago I saw underwater excavation pictures of Heracleion, an ancient Egyptian city submerged.

In my egyptian series I try to excavate treasures from the past.

My Egyptian series is an addition to my ‘j’accuse’ painting ‘The Revelation of Bettie Page’. My New Year’s resolution for this year: I dare all algorithms of social media scanning the internet for nipples like the Matrix’s sentinels for Neo.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Cleopatra – 22-12-18’ is my newest Egyptian one. Someone bathing in donkey milk could only be that very special person.

I liked the triangular position of the model’s body and put her in an Egyptian scenery, thinking of my roundism style relating to hieroglyphics and Egyptian arts in general. I always liked the intense need for styling and I consider the depictions of the human body by the old Egyptians to be one of mankind’s greatest achievements.

The third art work in my new series on Egypt. I experimented with my personal style ‘roundism’ in combination with realism and surrealism.

Last year I was at Oudaen, a city castle at Utrecht, Netherlands which now is a crowdy hotspot for party people. I was dining near the window in the corner with hundreds of people around me but a single cat was lying quietly by the window.

The reference picture I used was slightly different from the one I used for ‘The revelation of Bettie Page (2018)’.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nights over Egypt – 13-11-18’ is a special one. You see, I found this picture of Jenna J. Ross on Instagram.
