Photography, Alu-Dibond, 60 x 40

Two pictures of my studio, my atelier, when I just moved in.
Actually, it’s a little bit me also. Because this is the place, where no one else but me, makes the decisions. My own free state, the total anarchy, do whatever you want, no one cares, no one knows. That sounds great, but it also means, that I am the only one responsible, when things go wrong. When I mess up my paintings. Nobody else to blame, that’s the down side.
On the other hand: my little kingdom.


This week I visited the exhibition of ‘The late Rembrandt”, at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Beautiful exhibition. For me the most impressive painting was this little painting of “Baadende vrouw” (bathing woman).
His fellow artists thought it was just a sketch, an unfinished painting.
The loose brushstrokes of the white “dress” together with the delicate touch and de fine use of his glacis-strokes (thin layers of paint).
