This portrait of composer, musician and conductor Philip Glass was selected for the BP Portrait Award in 2013. The BP Portrait Awards are the Olympics of portrait painting, organised by the National Gallery in London.Philip Glass posed for this portrait during a music festival in Middelburg. The painting has been exhibited at the BP Portrait Awards in 2013, at the National Portrait Gallery in London and the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, among others. I opted for an ultra-realistic style, in thousands of brushstrokes of black and white oil paint. The style is inspired by the portrait that Chuck Close made of Glass. They have also become good friends. As you can read on the National Portrait Gallery website, seeing that portrait of Close made me decide to become a realistic painter. It was the second time that one of my portraits was selected for the Portrait Awards: in 2011 the jury chose my painting of jazz musician Courtney Pine.Being nominated was a huge honor both times!

Biography Spurred on by my grandfather who was a painter / sculptor , I have been enthusiastic about making art from an early age . I have painted portraits since childhood , I have always found this the most fascinating subject . The portrait is one of the most popular subjects for artists, so it is important to remain original in this genre. The point is not only to paint a good looking portrait, but also an interesting and captivating work of art. It is said about my work: “Daan van Doorn has a personal handwriting within the palette of portrait painting. His paintings are undeniably contemporary and authentic Van Doorn shows the person behind the face: the depth of the person. His works are characteristic and represent a subtle psychological view of man. Outer and inner beauty mix on the canvas into a penetrating whole. The painted portrait is a valuable addition to the prevailing digital image culture. A good portrait is not only a striking resemblance, but above all a great work of art that continues to fascinate thanks to composition and use of color. Daan van Doorn has developed his own expression within figurative painting. He uses natural pigments and earth tones. Daan van Doorn's distinct style has led to commissions at home and abroad. Collectors of both modern and classical art appreciate Van Doorn. The crowning glory of his work is the painting commissioned by H.M. Queen Beatrix and Prime Minister Balkenende. Daan van Doorn was also selected in 2011 and 2013 for the BP Award of the National Portrait Gallery in London and for the Royal Portrait Society “ Nowadays my work is a mix of images that I come across everywhere in the media, the city, the internet, museums, nature, magazines, etcetera. I combine these images on the computer into a whole which is then printed. I will then guard these prints with structure pastes, acrylic paint, pigments, gels, etc. into a unique work of art. I was born to make art and I do it with passion my experience has shown that selling through the internet and getting to the attention of a worldwide audience works , that's why I like to sell my artworks through Saatchi
