The lines of Antoni Gaudí are second to none. They are unique and organic designs by the master. I accepted a personal challenge to consider and draw the perspective of one of the centurions, guardians or watchers in the sky, present on the roof of Casa Milà. I preferred a white, serene expression.

Much can be derived from the Oystercatcher (scholekster) in the world of governance and management. In particular, the territorial behaviour during breeding is packed with exciting study material. In the colony, a “pecking order” takes effect. First come, first served and finding the ideal habitat as a nesting place, close to where the oysters and scoops can be found.
The clear lessons by Paul Valens†, our master on where ecology meets strategy, inspired me to study this exceptional bird. I painted it in Nieuwvliet-Bad, The Netherlands. A drawing including depth of focus.

The cliffs along the south coast of England can give a bright, far-away perspective and a view of the different layers of this landscape. This rectangle archival pigment print of the landscape represents a reflective reminder of the layers of life.
The diversity in the city is noteworthy. Many communities live side by side, each having fibres and fragrances. For public governance, it is essential to respect them and take care of a wide range of policy-making and implementation.

The story behind
Once a pristine and unique ecosystem, the Serengeti in Tanzania, where many animals live, meet and breed. Balanced, rich and telling the storing of our planet from ancient times on.
Now the immense grasslands (green) are step by step, disturbed by more tourist roads (white), system borders (black) and settlings (red). It is increasingly coming under pressure. This unique ecosystem is literally cut into pieces. An art expression.
This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Black 6c, High Risk Red and Grass Green is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder of how one of the most pristine and key natural ecosystems in the world is on the brink of devaluation.
