In 2013 I started this clairobscur lit nude and tucked it in one of pastel maps, only to forget about it for years and years.

Batenburg – 02-08-20

Graphite pencil drawing of a tranquil riverside scene with dense trees, reflective water, and the castle ruin of Batenburg partially hidden in the background. Executed in impressionist hatched-stroke style.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Batenburg – 02-08-20’ depicts a place not far away from were I was born. A bit of beauty in impressionist hatched strokes.

The Venus of The Hague – 23-07-20

Surreal graphite drawing of a reclining female nude with a shark’s head, resting on a brain-like sphere, surrounded by fish, shells, and a diver in an underwater scene.

Being a deep sea fish a coelacanth hardly ever come face to face with a white shark way up high but sometimes it does. If so, what would you expect to happen.

Veere – 24-03-20

These unusual times cause people to search for new ways to keep their minds busy. Some told me they binge watch or take virtual tours online, others turn to books still waiting for them. As an artist I just turn to what I do best for all these years: drawing and painting.
