"Here I am" Black swan of the lake

“Here I am” Black swan of the lake

The technical side. Mixed media on canvas, I used the blackest black: BLACK 3.0 by Stuart Sample. In combination with the airbrush, this paint has the effect of manifesting itself as a layer of velor that absorbs all light.

This canvas is one of a series of three canvases. “Here I am” Black swan of the lake, is the first. The full conviction of the prima ballerina

The realization of my vision. Ballet and Swan Lake are one. During my stay in Vinkeveen we were often surprised with a visit from some black swans that lived there. Black swans were not a common sight seen every day in the Netherlands. So these stately animals are always a delight to see. They always remind me of the prima ballerina. I then think of the hours of training they have to endure to be able to dance as beautifully as they do. For me, the black swan and the prima ballerina are the symbol of perseverance and of showing that you are there. Tough and brave, sure of yourself and your environment.

Ballet Amsterdam "The pain of getting to the middle of the lake..."

Ballet Amsterdam “The pain of getting to the middle of the lake…”

The technical side. Mixed media on canvas, Made with airbrush and other techniques.

This canvas is number two of a series of three canvases. “Here I am” Black swan of the lake, is the first i painted. Ballet Amsterdam “The pain of getting to the middle of the lake…” is the second i painted.

The realization of my vision. I lived in Amsterdam when I was about 9 years old and often stood with my red bicycle at the ballet school behind our house. Now we had a wealthy artists’ residence in our street. Often the notes from a violin or a trumpet flew by. So the fact that a ballet school was located behind our street is actually quite normal.

The sounds of the piano and the teacher counting the rhythm came through the windows as they practiced. One day there was a girl who was dragged inside by her mother, crying heavily… Oh well, now I say she may have lost her marbles that’s why she was crying. At the time, however, it made a deep impression. Little foot in pointe shoes…I won’t forget them…or the tears she swallowed as she took her first steps that morning. Sure steps for a little girl…. That already took an hour of training.

Dare to be free

“Dare to be free”

The technique used in this painting is a freehand background with a roller and acrylic paints. Over that, hard lines are drawn with markers and soft lines are drawn with an airbrush. This creates an artistic layer with plenty of movement and dynamism. The colors, however, are naturally bold and clear.

With her abundant movement, the ballerina commands attention. Her freedom is quite difficult in everyday life… years of training allow her dance to flow perfectly onto the stage as if it were easy.

She hides her face from the large audience. Disappearing into the crowd is so safe… isn’t it?

Title: Two birds with one stone. “my asylum seeker center for penguins”

The technical side. Airbrush on my fridge

Title: Two birds with one stone. “my asylum seeker center for penguins”

Fridge “my asylum seeker center for penguins”. A humorous look at things in the world. Of course it is terrible that people are on the run and have to seek refuge elsewhere. Two birds with one stone.

My refrigerator is filled with the pigeon. The pigeon is part of my last name. And if my refrigerator can hold penguins, it can also hold a pigeon. Then you see the cheese, the herring and the beer, that’s me. I like cheese herring and beer.

Among them are the penguins, they have fled from global warming. Well, they can go in my refrigerator. It is cozy, cold and there is plenty of drinks.

Bodypaint for a printer brand.

I made this body paint in the 1990s for a printer manufacturer together with a photographer and an advertising agency. A lot of work to get the model so flat that it went through the printer.

Title: "Delft Blue tile tableau on fondant with food colours."

Title: Delft Blue tile tableau on fondant with food colours.

The technical side. Airbrush on fondant.

The story:

Created during a demonstration at HORECAVA, a Dutch hospitality trade fair. This was to demonstrate that modern techniques like airbrushing can be used in a variety of settings beyond what you might think. If you really want to make a splash at an diner event, these are the real gems.
