My interpretation of classical paintings. I have a passion for antiquity and I am very nostalgic. That's why I like to work from my love for painting. I give them a contemporary look and embrace the classical style.
Original by Frans Hals.
Jacob Olycan was a wealthy Haarlem brewer. When he married Aletta Hanemans, the couple had their portrait painted by the best portrait painter in town: Frans Hals. He made two paintings - the groom on the left and the bride on the right, in line with the convention of the day.
Olycan, 29 years old, looks our hand on hip, from above and radiates pride and self-confidence. He wears a stylish shiny black suit and a gorgeous white lace collar painted with great precision.
Illustrator and specialist painter
I work very realistically and get inspiration from the everyday for my work. I combine a touch of fantasy with observation. Because of my painting background I have a love for imitation and precision. I start from my own perspective and I find it important to incorporate my interests in my illustrations. Not afraid to get my hands dirty, and a neat worker!
