NOMADDAM - Prague, January 2024

FRAMED ORIGINAL HAND DRAWING ready to hang, delivered with Certificate of Authenticity.

A contre-jour graphite drawing of a woman standing in front of her window, set against the urban backdrop of Prague, Czech Republic. The city softly fades into a blurred background, allowing the subject to emerge through a delicate balance of light and shadow.

The most challenging and captivating aspect of this piece lies in the interplay of reflections and illumination. The subtle reflection of the glass on the woman’s shoulder and back blends seamlessly with the natural light, while her softly lit hair captures a sense of movement and depth.

Every detail has been pushed to its limits—from the fine texture of the skin to the intricacy of the hair, tattoos, and natural marks—resulting in a highly realistic and intimate composition.

A unique and rare graphite masterpiece, offered to discerning collectors and the highest bidder.

I am a Dutch artist traveling the world to capture people emotional fragility and scenes of life. With my pencils and camera always beside me, I seek out those intimate moments where emotion speaks louder than words — the soft glances, the unguarded gestures, the solitude we all carry.

I draw daily life scenes with a cinematic, dramatic touch:
a woman smoking alone in her kitchen at night,
a couple finding privacy in the middle of a party,
a man lost in thought on a crowded metro.

My work focuses on themes of mental health, human connection, and emotional vulnerability. I pay special attention to the eyes, posture and light — the details that reveal the real story beneath the scene.
