The widow of Aleppo (2019)
Drawng often is called the primary process and I like it so much, brimming over with an ocean of ideas, that I forget about transfering those ideas to the secondary stage: the canvas. There always is something to dust off and in 2017 I used ‘Nude – 03-09-15’ to work out a bigger theme, called ‘The Widow of Aleppo – 18-05-17’, after Rembrandt’s painting Jeremiah lamenting Jerusalem’s destruction. Since the war in Syria sort of came to an end but the people still suffer, I found it appropiate to do this anew but then in oil.
Between the sheets – 21-06-19 (sold)
I was listening to ‘Between the sheets’ by The Isley Brothers when I completed this one so I tried to capture the sensual feel of the song in my drawing.
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.
Roundism – 10-06-19
After a bunch of landscapes and cityscapes I felt it was time to return to my roundism ladies. For me changing the theme once in a while is very useful.

Before last Tuesday’s model session I thought of a great pose I instructed to my model.
An archeological memory of Bettie Page – 13-11-18
The reference picture I used was slightly different from the one I used for ‘The revelation of Bettie Page (2018)’.
Nights over Egypt – 13-11-18
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.
Holy Vortex! – 05-10-18 (sold)
I just loved to break up a female’s body into vortices of vibrant colours one time and so this is the smashing result.
Sans titre – 08-06-18 (sold)
I always liked Diana Ross (except for that ghaslty song ‘My Old Piano’) and when I saw a video recently I was intrigued by this shiny 80-dress oozing out glitter and glamour.
Bettie Page – 19-05-18
I found this great early picture of a young Bettie Page posing before her pin-up days of fame.
