Roundism - 25-04-17
Part of the roundism series, in which I wanted to keep a big part of the body open and indicate and style only a portion of the shades.

Roundism - 20-11-16
The style of roundism put into colours and open spheres. I strongly looked for an overall distribution of the colour scheme so that none of the colours used would be dominant over another. The model is just an excuse to practise cubism this way.

Roundism - 10-05-17
A pastel variety on the previous drawing 'Roundism - 02-05-17' in which I tried to match the found styled forms to a colour scheme that would match them. It was a hell of a job to balance them all.

The Shins (live@Paradiso) 20-04-17
American band 'The Shins' performed at music temple 'Paradiso' at Amsterdam last 30th March 2017. I was there and was fascinated by the strong cubistic light triangles and the colour differences (yellow, purple, red).

Roundism - 02-05-17
Part of the roundism series. I was fascinated by the squares and round forms I detected in the body.

The return of the dutch elephants (@ Gouda) - 12-07-17
Some time ago I saw a cloud that perfectly looked like a baby elephant. I got the idea to draw the canal realistally and transcend into a more abstract mid-section (trees in my roundism style) and end in a surrealistic scene, thus combining impressionism, realism, cubism, roundism and surrealism.

Cubistic nude - 11-11-16
Another model in colour and in straight cubistic planes left open to breathe. I wanted to have the negative space be an integral part of the cubistic parts as well in order to cultivate the necessary unity to obtain.

Bettie Page - 28-08-17
Returning to Bettie Page once in a while because her body was so slender and enables me to exploit my style of roundism to the max. In this drawing I tried to keep the forms open as much as possible while the extended lines beyond the forms create new forms, even animals!

Roundism - 29-05-17 (sold)
A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing 'Roundism - 26-05-17'. I used the primary colours red, yellow and blue to honor 'De Stijl', a dutch art movement that celebrates its 100 birthday this year. Mondriaan was all about moving about planes and lines in his ever search for the perfect composition. I think I will work out the previously described principle of singularity in works to come. By singularity I mean that curves approach straight lines or planes without ever touching them.
