The madonna of The Hague (2015)

This painting is the culmination of the many previous graphite pencil drawings.
The return of Bettie Page – 12-08-15

This is the first roundism oil painting I made of American pin-up and celebrity Bettie Page, after a first drawing I made in the beginning of 2015.
Bettie Page is one person I always admired. Not only she is sexy as hell but also because she deared to flirt with her sexuality in an era throughout the world many were prunes (and still are today).
Nude – 19-07-15 – 2

A cubist graphite pencil drawing that I personally find to be succeeded.
Roundism – Bettie Page – 31-01-15 (sold)

A combination of my love for American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page and roundism.
Reclining nude – 28-01-15

A somehow expressionistic kind of pastel drawing that came from a live drawing session with my favorite model.
Roundism – 13-01-15

Part of the roundism series. I once was in Amsterdam teaching for an international group of expats and we used an Italian model who posed for us like a still.
Roundism – 02-12-14

The result of so many prestudies in graphite and pastels resulted in the culmination of all efforts into this oil painting. The dimension of colour gives it an extra swirl.
Reclining nude – 10-11-14

This pastel drawing ‘Reclining Nude – 10-11-14’ grew out of my first model session with my regular model. A curious mix of impressionism and expressionism.
Roundism – 06-10-14 (sold)

A pastel in the roundism series. I think it might be the first one. Looking back I think I was very risky with the colour scheme but I wanted to enforce the jump-like figure. It’s owned now by a private Chinese collector.
The birth of new cubism – 23-07-14

Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series.
