This series of now more than 100 portraits is a tribute to musicians who have framed important moments in my life. For me they are the icons of our time. The works in mixed techniques are made with the material ArtGraf (pigment blocks that can be liquefied) and finished with (colored) pencil. I have been inspired by techniques from the early Renaissance and artists such as Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) and Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) are my examples. Just like these artists, I have prepared and colored the durable acid-free 400 gram museum cardboard myself. You can see exactly how I work on my many unique YouTube videos in which many musicians, now friends of mine, composed music especially for me or gave me permission to use their music.

The prices of the original works shown range from €500,- to €1250,-. It depends on the size and whether or not to buy an accompanying frame (the cost of which varies from about €150 to €275). Of the series of some 110 portraits, the originals pictured at the top of the page are still available. For questions and/or more information you can also send me a message through the Contact form.

At the moment I'm working on a book called "On the wings of my time (part 1) - about David Bowie and other Heroes" in which I describe my (childhood) memories and my encounters with Bowie's collaborators and how Bowie runs like a thread through my life. Keep an eye on my site for the latest news! 

Attached is an excerpt from the Dutch television broadcast “EVENBLIJ MAAKT VRIENDEN” in which none other than Sting comments based on my portrait of him and his wife Trudie Styler.
