"Six worthies of the cloth" painted by the Dutch painter Pieter Pietersz. (1540 -1603).
Waardijns were the overseers and administrators of the cloth guild. Their duties included inspecting the fabrics, determining the types of wool and the manner of weaving and dyeing. Pieter Pietersz.'s group portrait is still very much in the 16th-century tradition of static civic guard portraits, but through the many hand gestures he gave this somewhat stiff composition a certain liveliness. And the sunglasses, which I added satirically yet respectfully, make the gentlemen look hip and cool.

                                        The stylists at Art Heroes call my art style ‘Art with a Wink’. And I couldn't agree more. Life is serious enough as it is,  don't you think? ;-)
I mainly make surrealist artworks and collages,  because in those artstyles I can so wonderfully unleash my creativity and unbridled..
