Ruben van Veen (born 1960) lives and works in the Netherlands and studied drawing and painting at the Volksuniversiteit in Gouda and at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague. He has been exhibiting since 1992. His work is included in museum and private collections. In 2016, the catalog “Ruben van Veen / Drawings Paintings Cardboard” appeared, a selection of his work from the period 1994–2016.

General information:
Ruben van Veen makes drawings, paintings, and works on stiff cardboard using a figurative, intuitive approach in which the subconscious forms an important part of the creative process.
Without a pre-set plan, he begins with a piece. Then a human figure always reappears. Usually accompanied by an animal, a fruit, or an everyday object. This combination of images offers a glimpse into a bizarre world.
The leading theme in his work is, indeed, the human being and the complex social relationships people have with one another. It deals with desires and fears and marks the fine line between seducing and repelling, harmony and conflict, tenderness and combat.
Not without irony, he attempts to depict the mystery of life and is in search of a continually shifting ideal of beauty.
