Pollard in Misty Landscape

Kruf, J. (2023)Pollard in Misty Landscape [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

This pollard in a misty landscape reflects the spirit of personal quietness and stillness. It expresses individual feelings of significant loss. With the branches being cut off, the meristemic power of the willow is unparalleled and a metaphor for resilience. A painting in dear memory of Wil Oldeman-Helder.

Un Paisaje Icónico

Art work in room

After the harvest, this Carmona landscape turns into an iconic landscape. The yellow path is astonishing and an almost adventurous one. It cuts through the elegant curves of the hills. The palette of colours is dreamy. At the same time, it is realistic: the picture shows us just as it is at this time of the year, no more or less.

More so is this in-depth perspective from an ecological point of view. It leads to the fact that this painting should ring all the alarm bells on how we treat our earth. In fact, it is a man-made desert without any life other than the agricultural products we harvest.

The Lines of Gaudí

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.
