Roma 2012

100×100 cm Acrylic on canvas

Roma: At 1997 I visited Rome for a week, I was wondered by a lot of beautifull buildings, but the most wonderfull in my opinion was the Santa Maria della Concezione. a church commissioned by Pope Urban VIII in 1626. The pope’s brother, Cardinal Antonio Barberini, who was a member of the Capuchin order, in 1631 ordered the remains of thousands of Capuchin friars exhumed and transferred from the friary Via dei Lucchesi to the crypt. The bones were arranged along the walls, and the friars began to bury their own dead here, as well as the bodies of poor Romans, whose tomb was under the floor of the present Mass chapel. Here the Capuchins would come to pray and reflect each evening before retiring for the night.

So I made this work with a bella donna, with around here little pieces of Roma and bones on my way.

Charlie is based on a painting of a gypsy boy with a tear on his cheeks. In the seventies of last century was a reproduction of this work for almost everyone above the fireplace. As a child I asked myself always wondering who that crybaby would be. Charlie cries in any case, and whether he will ever be as popular as the gypsyboy I do not know, I have nothing against … That idea

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, my Queen.
I already made several drawings of her in my style, but they werealways a bit harsh. This painting is more positive, and that bringsthe Queen about the people she meets. ”Long live the Queen!”
