Arnoldus Johannes van Dreven

In my work I try to convey a message by discovering the viewer for themselves.
After many years I found my signature. “Nude, but not naked”. Inspiration I find in naive art, expressionism and magical realism.
In my youth I did not get to know art. In high school I developed a talent for working with color and form. At the end of my adolescence, I destroyed my work. Desperate for not understanding my talent, I turned away from art.
I work very intuitively. The creation takes place digital. I like to create backgrounds with different brushes.

People are often asked how much time it takes to make a work. I do not know exactly. Do I have to include the photo shoot and the preliminary interview in terms of time? Sometimes I use an object as a background multiple times, each time edited in a different way.
