Heartbroken over the sudden and totally unexpected loss of my father, I made this painting
in the middle of the night. I painted the background black. Then covered it with copper and gold leaf, leftovers from another project. With just some brush strokes in black acrylic paint I saw my father appear, looking at me, just like he used to. He was such an incredible sweet and gentle person, never raised his voice, always had a smile, loved a little joke now and then, mostly sitting quietly looking outside the window, reading his paper, sipping his coffee. I still miss him so much. Putting him on the canvas like this, he is always there with me, in my work room.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Focus on a future you dream of creating

I am a self-taught artist and a dreamer. And I struggle a lot. I always dream of a colorful life. While living in Southern California I took up photography. I painted fun and expressive art on clothing, designed by me and sold to some small fancy shops on Melrose Blvd. I painted murals for children's rooms but found that painting on canvas had my preference. Twelve years later: back in the Netherlands, I took several workshops sculpting in stone. It became a journey: sculpting in stone, sculpting in clay, analog, and then digital photography, ending up painting with acrylics and drawing digitally. Taking online classes with Pamela Caughey and Nickolas Wilton and Suzanne Allard, designer. Still overcoming my insecurities, but at last, I find great pleasure in painting and using different media. I procrastinate at times, but I see that mainly as an inner search for the next thing to come. And when busy with my hands, my heart takes over and I get completely lost in my work. I love imperfection while trying to be perfect. I figure that if I don't try and spread my wings, I will never know how high I can fly.
