Sans titre - 27-02-16 (sold)
Part of the sans titre series, depicting Bette Davis, American actress and celebrity. Everyone knows Bettie Davis' eyes by Kim Karnes. Enough said? Not yet. I thought Bettie's eyes to be cubist rather than round.

Roundism (singularity) - 01-06-17
In this drawing I tried to work out my (artistic) understanding of singularity. I came to see that bending curves to straight structures could symbolize infinity on a piece of paper that is restricted by its very nature.

Roundism - 28-04-17

Sans titre - 05-05-17
This one represents Darja Collin, fomer wife of J. Slauerhoff, a great dutch poet and writer of the 1930s. I liked combining circles, rectangulars and triangles in this one.

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!

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.

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.
