The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) – 26-07-13

An impressionistic drawing of water reflections in The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos), Netherlands, done with graphite pencil.

The Ooij polder (2013)

A pointillistic view on The Ooij Polder, an area between the German border and Nijmegen, the place where I grew up.

Henriëtte (2013) (sold)

An oil painting of Henriëtte Sibie, who sits for me quite frequently, most of the times at Studio Brugman.

Cubistic nude 02 (2013)

A study after movement and cubism. I was inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘nu descendant l’escalier’. I like women swinging their hips.

Cubistic nude 01 (2013) (sold)

One of the early paintings in a distint different cubist style I was searching for. It was my first sales on Saatchiart and my type of cubism has developed into a variety I call ’roundism’.

Chinese nude (2012) (sold)

I love those old colonial post cards of exotic nudes. This one is based on such a card but of course with the addition of extreme colours.

Peggy (2011)

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

Elysian fields (2008)

A big surrealistic oil painting. Surrealism – with Salvador Dali as exceptional example – always has drawn my attention.

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.

Lust (2007) (sold)

Not a real surrealistic painting but almost ‘alternative realism’. A woman reading the newspapers. One used condom on the floor, half a bottle of wine with two empty glasses. One cup of coffee on bed.
