Peggy (2011)

A live model that I painted at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands. The purporse was to meet realism from an expressionistic starting point.

Flames (2007)

A surreastic oil painting with an ashtray and flowers as cigars. I liked painting the texture of fire so I had to come up with a dark negative space to sett off the light sufficiently.

Sub rosa (2007) (sold)

Twice it came back to me because of the partner of the purchaser didn’t agree with the vibrator. The third time was a charm.

Foetus (2004)

I love foreshortened positions and although the model is tucked in very tightly, through application of the golden ratio and positioning the model according it, the composition worked out fine.

Nude at sea (2004)

I thought a nude simply was not enough. I added the sea later.

Erasmus (2004) (sold)

Since my birth I am a fan of big empty spaces. I painted this one in my previous apartment at the Erasmusweg, The Hague, Netherlands and used it as a stage to suggest emptiness.

Beatrix (1993)

A portrait of Beatrix, former queen of The Netherlands, serving as a portrait for the Leiden University Almanac 1993.

Oma (1991)

My grandmother when she was 84. I studied law but did never quit drawing and painting.

Oma (1990)

A drawing of my grandmother Marie Kersten-Kuster done in an impressionistic way.

Girl (1990)

A study of foreshortening of the human body.
