60x80 cm, 2012

Oil on canvas

This 2012 oil painting of Amsterdam captures the charm of the city's canals with a realistic yet slightly stylized approach. The details of the iconic tall, narrow houses are meticulously painted, while vibrant colors, especially purples and reds, give the scene a lively and modern feel. The foreground features bicycles leaning against a railing, adding depth and a typical Amsterdam touch. Soft reflections in the canal and delicate tree branches create a balanced composition. The style blends realism with a playful use of color, bringing the city's character to life in an engaging way.
