Sea Nymph in communion. This is the first of a series of related works of the same dimensions, dealing with a subject close to my heart: the increasingly urgent need for conservation of our oceans. Nereids are the beings representing the amazing resilience of these 'life support systems' (quoting the legendary Dr. Sylvia Earle, marine biologist) of our planet. Nereïde Charcoal on paper 100 x 70 cm (40”x 28”) panel size 103 x 73 cm (41"x 29") framed ----------------------------- The original drawing has been treated with fixative, and is quite smudge-proof. The heavy Fabriano printmaking paper is mounted onto foam-core, creating a lightweight but firm panel, 1cm thick. The artwork comes with a simple white box frame, plus a signed certificate of authenticity. Please allow ten working days to arrange the framing. Alternatively, you can get the original drawing as a panel shipped to you straight away, and arrange for it to be framed according to your specifications (behind glass, for example). Again, let us know when you place the order, if this is what you prefer. The price will remain the same.

Netherlands
I am a portrait / figurative artist based in Venlo, Netherlands, working mainly in charcoal, pastel, graphite and silver point. I draw portraits, plus sometimes vintage scenes based on antique photographs, re-imagined classical/mythological golden oldies, and some anthropomorphised forces of nature. My main focus is on Humans, with a bias toward the female form, and toward issues on a planetary scale. My approach to inspirational input is that of an omnivore, feeding in 360º on both 'high' and 'low' culture. My creative output has always been similarly divers in form. (i.e. sculptures in stone/metal/wood, paintings, murals, digital photo-based work) Only recently I have been able to narrow things down a bit. Over the last decade, I was forced to focus on one mode of expression (2D, digital), and a couple of years ago I returned full circle to the place where my creativity once sprouted... DRAWINGS Early 2020, I started drawing again, after not having done that for more than a decade, and not this seriously since my childhood/adolescence, when I hardly did anything else. I draw in a sparse yet naturalistic style, capturing many details but also adding layers dealing with realities of existence beyond the obviously visible. They are expressed in colour, direction, gesture, texture, juxtaposition of elements. My images are spiked with a promiscuous mix of style features, which often makes labeling them as such into a somewhat laughable exercise, merely justified by heightened findability. I guess what I make is usually called 'outsider art'. Facing the world as it is evolving, in my current situation, this is my natural response. I try to steer clear of explicit commentary, or attempts at 'activism', focussing instead on developing my draftmanship and chasing beauty in different ways. Still, behind all of my pieces there is also the incredulously curious alien, attempting to process present day reality on Earth while trying to stay sane. ------------------------------------------- In the decade preceding my current adventure as a late-blooming draftsman, my medium has been a Mac with Wacom tablet and much maligned but truly magnificent Photoshop. Plus a high end printer (commercial art printer for large formats) to get physical output. The output consisted of photomontages/manipulations. Scroll down for a couple of them that I left on the page.
