Art is Research

2025 Art to Come

Continuously working on long versions of the Painter ás a Warrior (25 x50 cm), Tschäggättä and other Mask (A3 and 50x65 cm) inspired heads, in mixed media, using acrylics, combined with walnutink, JG coffee, Falu paints and Stabilo wax pastels. 

Sneak preview

Inspired by the Moai's (stone heads) of Easter Island, and seeing Leo Gestel's Spakenburger vissers (1934) in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam I combined these into my 3 Mogai's (wise people a.k.a. as three Kings coming from the East) in mudpaint and wax pastel.
