Into the light – 15-06-17

back view of a nude female figure wearing thigh-high socks, standing before a circular light source. Diagonal pastel strokes create movement and texture.

This pastel drawing ‘Into the Light – 15-06-17’ is something different. Enter the gloom or into the light?

Leiden – 27-12-16 (sold)

impressionistic cityscape graphite pencil drawing

An impressionistic view on Leiden, where I studied. I am often fascinated my reflections in water and there are so many canals to be found over there. The movement of the water is what I put as a central theme in this drawing.

Did this one for a Chinese collector who wanted to have a copy the same pastel from 2012 which he acquired as well. The Chinese are into realistic western art nowadays.

Schoonhoven – 15-12-16

Cubistic cityscape colored pencil drawing

I was attracted to the cubist quality of the planes that still offer a realistic / impressionistic view on a back alley in a small town called ‘Schoonhoven’, Netherlands.

Glass vase (2016)

Realistic vase oil painting

A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.

Roundism – 06-07-16

Framed pointillist oil painting of a stylized nude figure in a curled, introspective pose, composed of vibrant mosaic-like brushstrokes in warm reds, oranges, and pinks. The background features cooler tones of blue, teal, and purple, creating emotional contrast and visual depth.

This oil painting ‘Roundism – 06-07-16’ is a the second one in the same series under the same name. Cubism meeting pointillism!

Nude – 07-03-16

impressionistic nude pastel drawing

A classic study of the female corpse in pastel. I put the stress on the high lights.
