Homage to Man Ray 2 (2012)
Second tribute to Man Ray’s surrealistic photos. I wanted to see what the solarized pictures would like if I added some colour to them.
Pastels
Hatert Meres (Hatertse Vennen) 02 (2012)
A view on The Hatert Meres, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands. The emphasis lies on the reflection of the trees in the water.
Hommage to Man Ray 1 (2012)
A tribute to Man Ray, surrealist photographer and lifetime inspirational source.
Portrait of a lady (2012) (sold)
It’s not that often that I like to finedetail a drawing but in the case of portraying Nicole Kidman I liked to see how far I could push my own style of hatched strokes with my Derwent pastel pencils (I hardly use).
Bathing nude (2012) (sold)
A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.
Hommage to Man Ray (Lee Miller) (2012)
After a Man Ray picture of Lee Miller. I believe before he went on the solarization of photos.
l’Odalisque (2012)
Many have painted a l’Odalisque but this one is based on a photo by Eugène Durieu (1850’s). I thought even Delacroix used this picture as a reference photo.
Nude leaning forward (2011) (sold)
This pastel is done after a 1920’s picture I found in an art deco-community online.
Nude sitting on table (2011) (sold)
This pastel drawing ‘Nude Sitting on Table (2011) (sold)’ is a kind of impressionist I guess. People around me also mentioned realism and art deco.
Self portrait (2004)
My one and only attempt to put pastel on canvas board. It doesn’t have enough tooth so I didn’t even finished it.
Harbour building at Rotterdam (2004)
A view on the main harbour building at Rotterdam, Netherlands with the Erasmus bridge at the background.
Still life with bottles (1992)
An early pastel sketch of empty bottles in my years of being a law student.
Self portrait with fur hat (1991)
An impressionistic pastel self portrait sketch when I was sick.
Self portrait (sick) (1991)
An impressionistic pastel self portrait sketch when I was sick.
Abstract flower (1970 – 1975)
Abstract flower (1970 – 1975) One of the earliest works I ever made. In retrospective I rather like it and of late some etsy-like website
