To choose an artist from the many great painters who have influenced my work is an
impossibility. In fact it would be much easier to make a negative
selection...
The paintings of Hendrick
Goltzius for example are just not my piece of cake... though I do admire him as
a draftsman!
I've been exclusively
painting for the last years but currently I am drawing intensively.
This portrait depicts the
artist Giambologna. It is done precisely and yet full of vivid
expression.
Although my work is going
in another direction, for me this drawing of Goltzius remains a beacon of
energetic clarity.
