Surrealism
Wag the Dog – 24-04-22
My graphite pencil drawing Wag the Dog – 26-09-21 was waiting on the shelf to be put into oil. After my last oil Slava Ukraini – 18-04-22 I thought I’d use another surrealist theme and why not?
The Meeting -15-02-22
This oil ‘The Meeting’ has a long story. Ages ago, before my cubist and roundistic revolution, I was more into landscapes and surrealism.
Hold Your Horses – 04-01-22
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Hold Your Horses – 04-01-22’ was a done deal in my head already during the live session.

Wag the dog was the first title that came to mind when I saw this beautiful photo. It stems from the 1930s I think.
Sheep Have More Fun – 23-07-21
Sheep have more fun or do they? It so happened that my dear friend, poet and photographer Alexis de Roode went for a little stroll in nature.
Mother Nature – 22-01-21
Mother Nature holds many secrets but let me sketch you the following. All of a sudden you spot a naked woman on her own in the middle of a forest. Would you be attracted to her or would you run away screaming?
The Proud Brothers – 04-01-21
How can The Blues Brothers turn into The Proud Brothers? That is simple enough. Take a big country and turn it into a madhouse.

Frida Kahlo (2020)
A couple of years ago I came across a nude photo of Frida Kahlo. I guess she did a lot of experimenting in the roaring 1920s / 1930s. I was intrigued by her body position: reclining and amidst two cats, completely demanding the camera in a relaxed way though.
Tristan & Isolde – 09-12-19
It so happened that I was instructing a knight on horseback to prance in front of me so I could do a live painting on him, then all of a sudden this beautiful maiden was ruling us both.
In hoc signo – 14-10-19 (sold)
I am always looking for inconventional vantage points as to looking at a model and this position seemed both sensual and integrous as implicitely explicit.
Yeast – 18-09-19 (sold)
My model came with this pose Modonna used for one of her albums. Originally it was intented to do square sized pastels because I happen to have 4 spare square frames but today I saw a greater scheme I had to work out first.
Una in aliam – 01-09-19
This oil painting is based on my drawing ‘Nude – 17-06-15’. An artist often sees one thing in another. Salvador Dali saw a rhinoceros in Vermeer’s Lacemaker. I saw a horse in a women’s thigh.
The infinitive waves of eternity – 15-06-19
The slanted position of the body inspired me to sketch some waves around it. I kept the focus on the body while tuning down the values in the waves a little bit.
A day at the beach – 16-03-19 (sold)
This drawing is to celebrate human achievements and imagination in particular. To see one thing in another is something very real, surreal and metaphysical altogether.
Voorschoten – 11-03-19
Last year I was walking through sunny Voorschoten, a town in the north to where I live.
The artist and his model – 22-02-19 (sold)

The sheik of Araby – 15-10-17
I always love this jazz song and when listening to jazz doing my nudes in my apartment I made the connection all of a sudden, as I often do between visual art and music.
I lost my contacts – 23-09-17
Last Sunday I had another photo shoot and drawing session with my favorite odel and after I saw back the photos there was only one plausible conclusion: There comes a time when you look at a naked woman and discover new things.
Mary Pickford – 13-09-17
