Cubistic nude (01) (prestudy) (2013)
This is the prestudy for ‘Cubistic nude 01 (2013)’ on pastel. I used velours paper and Schmincke pastels so I could fill up planes easily and make a swift progression, keeping up with the ideas that I feared would be lost if I would set it up to slowly.
Nude in front of tapestry (2012)
A pastel drawing based on a 1920’s art deco-style picture.
Nude 03 (2012) (sold)
The original impressionistic pastel drawing of a nude after which I made a copy for a Chinese collector in December 2016.
Nude 02 (2012) (sold)
There is so much colour to be found in shadows. I hardly use unsaturated colours in them because then it looks so brownish and I can’t relate to that. This found its way to a Chinese collector.
Nude 01 (2012) (sold)
classical piece that went to China. They love such classic art over there.
Ilna (2012) (sold)
A commissionary piece for my dear colleague Humphrey Brugman, with some surrealistic elements added.
Nude in front of mirror (2012)
A classic pastel drawing starring Kiki de Montparnasse, Paris’ famous model from the 1920’s.
Homage to Man Ray 2 (2012)
Second tribute to Man Ray’s surrealistic photos. I wanted to see what the solarized pictures would like if I added some colour to them.
Hommage to Man Ray 1 (2012)
A tribute to Man Ray, surrealist photographer and lifetime inspirational source.
Portrait of a lady (2012) (sold)
It’s not that often that I like to finedetail a drawing but in the case of portraying Nicole Kidman I liked to see how far I could push my own style of hatched strokes with my Derwent pastel pencils (I hardly use).
