3 figures
2025This painting is derived from a number of photos made by the Belgian photographer Harry Gruyaert, the landscape is 1 photo and the 3 figures ( people) come from other photos taken by him in various places around the world. I put all this together in the painting as a kind of ode to the photographer! It is painted in acrylic paint on wood with a 2nd hand frame around it.
The bathwoman
2025Clay / ceramics, painted with acrylic paint
The connection
2025This figurine is derived from a photo taken by the American photographer Mike Disfarmer in the year 1943 of Mr. and Mrs. Barger from Herber Springs in Arkansas (USA). I also sometimes use photography as an example in my ceramics.
The jungle / forest
2025Fantasy forest with diverse flora and fauna
pigeons in Central park
2025This painting is derived from 2 photos, the boy with the toy handgrenade comes from a photo of the New York photographer Diane Arbus. The billboard in the background comes from a photo made by the American photographer Margaret Bourke-White. I gave the boy a "Trumpian" haircut, it has become a kind of visual commentary on the current political "climate" in the USA and the rest of the world!
Lady on canapé
2024This painting is derived from a painting made by the Dutch painter Jan Sluijters. I made my own (temporary) version of it and only "used" the lady on the sofa, the rest (interior) is made up.
The peasant wedding
2024This painting is derived from a photo by the Dutch photographer Tinus Swinkels. He took many portrait photos of peasants in and around the village (Lieshout) where he lived, this photo is from the year 1919. I made up the landscape around it
the cafe
2024I made this painting for an art competition for which you had to make something that was derived from Matisse's work. I used his painting "The piano player and the checkers" from 1924 as an example and added various other elements from other paintings to it. acyrl paint on wood with 2nd hand frame
Le chapeau rose
2024I made this painting for my wife's birthday, it is derived from a painting by the Dutch painter Kees van Dongen. She especially likes his paintings of the BIG-eyed women
the painter and his muse
2023This was originally a photo of Matisse in his studio in Paris taken by the photographer Brassai in the 1930s
the paradise
2022This painting is inspired by an image of Adam & Eve, I depicted them in my own way in a kind of fantasy garden with various flora and fauna. The birds are existing birds!
La belle de nuit
2022This young lady is in a photo of the Parisian photographer Brassai whose work I love to see. Among other thing, he took photos of prostitutes and their customers both on the street and in brothels in the 1920s & 1930s. This was a street prostitue
rendez vous in the forest
2022Also this painting is derived from a photo taken by the photographer Brassai ( the 2 figures), and the landscape is inspired by "colleague" naive painter Henri Rousseau (Le Douanier).
picnic on the Marne
