Neo Deco – 30-07-23

This oil painting ‘Neo Deco – 30-07-23’ is an elaboration of my graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco – 23-08-22’.

Melina Noëlle – 18-04-23

This oil ‘Melina Noëlle – 18-03-23’ is the result of a long search for perfection.

Wag the Dog – 24-04-22

Rusalka, Free Floating in Ukrainian Waters – 28-02-22

This oil painting I would like to call ‘Rusalka’ in honor of the latest developments in Ukraine. It is an elaboration of my pastel drawing ‘Free Floating Blue Wave Nude – 10-02-21’.

After careful considering I chose for a rendering with hatched strokes like I am used to in doing pastels and many a drawing, even though this is the first time in oil.

In these Corona times I returned to my studio at Brugman Art where I started to teach to students (one at a time) again and working on my Frida Kahlo project
