"De Zakkendragers"

 

For my research about the crafts and the craftsmen I went to visit the depot of the Jenever Museum in Schiedam, and there I found a whole archive of beautiful pictures from all the hard working people in and around the factory. From those pictures a created a collage and used that as an inspiration for my paintings.

Another big source of inspiration for this project for me was the painter Marc Chagall, A Russian painter from the 1880's who used colors so poeticly he made the most dark and sad subjects seem romantic.
