Description
During a cold winter evening, next to the warm wood-fired stove, tasting a very good wine with a good friend.
Until late in the evening, many stories will be told. This was a sort of wine tasting, evening soiree at a fantastic vintage shop.
My goal was to portray two men in an intimate and relaxed setting. One man, wearing a felt hat and a heavy shearling coat, reclines in a chair, savoring a glass of red wine. Opposite him, an older gentleman with a neatly groomed beard, clad in a checkered shirt and black jacket, extends his glass, his pose reflecting friendship. They sit in a cozy corner, surrounded by a rustic ambiance, with a small table holding wine bottles and a glowing candle. The warm, inviting colors and detailed brushstrokes emphasize the atmosphere of companionship and warmth. I tried to capture the nuances of this moment, drawing the viewer into the scene. The contrast between the men's clothing and the intimate setting creates an interesting dialogue between ruggedness and refinement, making the piece strikingly memorable.
Presentation
Artist Statement:
“I am fascinated by people – why we choose to gather, what food we share, which outfits we enjoy. I simply observe, and my observations can fit any period. The spontaneity of such occasions intrigue me, as individuals dress up, place a bottle of their favourite wine on the table, and effortlessly start to talk.
I watch. I stare. I also wonder about events before and after the moment I have caught on canvas.
Because the image itself is only the start of a longer conversation. That is why I prefer real contact with my subjects, whether they are strangers or my friends. People may have come together on impulse, or the tableau may be staged. Once the group is together, the occasion generates its own unique discussions, expressions, atmosphere, authenticity. Even when lodged in our history, it will resonate today."
I am born in the Netherlands in 1978 and graduated at the Royal Art Academy in 's Hertogenbosch in 2004. I have had several exhibitions in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, France, Poland and the USA."
I also love movies and history.
