This colored pencil drawing ‘De Koepel (The Dome) in Voorburg – 01-11-18’ is in color again. Born out of an inner urge.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude Study, after Breitner – 23-12-25’ honors Breitner’s little photographs. The one for this drawing stood out.

Rijswijk – 04-12-15

Graphite pencil drawing of a gothic-style building with pointed arches and tall windows, partially obscured by a dense network of leafless tree branches. The composition contrasts architectural geometry with organic chaos.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Rijswijk- 04-12-15’ explores the interplay of straight forms and curvature as its central theme.
