The portrait was made from several of my own photos. Of course I painted a lot again in an editing program. I also adjusted the colors, so that the painting would look more like a work of an "Old Master", but in a modern way. My mannequin has been given clothes that I normally wear myself.

Your chosen art on canvas, stretched in an aluminum frame. Quick and easy to change for a fresh look and exactly as you want it.
I've been photographing since the beginning of this century. I am a real autodidact, although I have taken courses and mentorships. I don't try to make the 'standard' picture and am often busy for weeks before the result is as I had in mind.
I would have preferred to have mastered painting, like my great uncle Johan Gabriëlse, but unfortunately I don't have a talent for drawing. With my pictures I try to compensate this a bit.
