About Domstad Rudie
I was born on Queen's Day (30 April) in 1952 in the Prinsenstraat in Utrecht. Been drawing and painting since primary school: Willem van Oranje with East Indian ink from the history book. At the HBS-B I developed and my drawing teacher gave me high marks for freehand and line drawing. That is also where my great interest in architecture arose. All my work from that time was lost: it disappeared at the exam presentation. I chose to study Experimental Physics at UU and a career in ICT. This was because I found a classmate better at free drawing. Not a bad choice, it allowed me to develop my skills in engineering as well as photography.
Since retirement, I have been fully engaged in art again. Now not on paper, but on an Apple iPad Pro 12.9" with Apple Pencil 2 and the Adobe Fresco app. This is how my love for art, photography, architecture and ict came together. After 9 months of drifting, I was accepted into the stable of a Utrecht-based art gallery, Catch Utrecht. Neither of us liked this; we parted ways in friendship. Since then, I am much freer in my choice of subjects and this benefits the quality of my work. An application to the K.F. Hein Fund in 2022 did not yet want to succeed. The number of positive reactions from connoisseurs is increasing, including Museum Moore, Centraal Museum Utrecht and well-known visual artists like Krista van der Niet. De Telegraaf already paid attention 3 times, on RTV Utrecht I had 2 short radio interviews and an interview appeare
