Welcome! *** I thank Thomas at Bureau Bas Smets in Brussels, Belgium, the original designers of the waterlily pond in Arles, France, for their clear answer: the misting installation in the outdoor pond at LUMA Arles, France, is a temporary art piece by the Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya, an installation that will be shown throughout Les Rencontres, the international photographic manifestation, until September 26, 2025. *** The 2025 spring event at the Fondation Opale in Lens, Rien de Trop Beau pour les Dieux, was a carte blanche show curated by the French Jean-Hubert Martin, about "the plastic diversity of spiritual practices from all over the world." This show of "altars, 20th-century artists and a generation of artists trying to get recognition for their culture", also portrayed several Australian Aboriginal pieces, of which the Fondation has the biggest main collection in Switzerland! *** The Dutch Association of Botanical Artists (VBKN) requested designs from their working members for a new folder for their 2026 jubilee. I happily submitted. I had four pieces in the 17th edition of the Little Treasures exposition at the Galeria De Marchi in Bologn, Italy, November/December, 2024, organized by Trevisan International Art. It is one of their longest running and most successful shows. *** On to 2025, better and better ! With love.*** On June 15th 2024 this site reached 1 million visitors. Thanks for your support! *** The December activities with the ARTBOXY team are up and running! This festive month I am showing virtually at the Andakulova Gallery in Dubai, the Casa del Arte in Palma de Mallorca and the Art Manifestati0n in Miami - Wynwood, Miami, Florida As September progressed, my solo show "Peintures et Dessins" at the Galerie du Pressoir in Ecublens (near Lausanne, Switzerland) took place. I thank those who attended the vernissage for their warm presence and so many of you who came by during the rest of the event all the time! July-August 2023 welcomed the request for the design of the front and back cover (see Appearences) of a collection of poems by Greek poetess Kyriaki Chatziionannidou. The book, Sempre Viva, has been in bookstores since this September (2023) and I would like to thank Elodie Masin, editor/founder of publishing house saisOndespluies, for her supportive cooperation within this beautiful and elegant project. Thanks also go to the following sponsors: the city of Nyon, the Canton of Vaud and the Jan Michalski Foundation, dedicated to writing and literature. Spring 2023the Still Point Arts Quarterly (USA) published my work once again: two graphite drawings within the theme Minimalist Wisdom. A beautiful edition!In February 2023 ART EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, displayed several images virtually again. Going virtual is a great way to exihibit various pieces at the same time in international shows.Summer 2022I won three months of international ARTBOXY sponsorship in various galleries of choice. My work has been screen-exhibited at the Lelie Galerij in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the Urban Side Gallery in Zurich and the Thomson Gallery in Zug in Switzerland, and at the ARTBOXY gallery space at the Venice Biennale, Italy, in June, July and August 2022. Thanks for everyone's kind and professional help. And to my cousin Frank van Dobbenburgh for his energetic support of my work at the Lelie Galerij, AMSTERDAM!In April 2022 my work appeared virtually in ART EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, an international show in the restored original Philips electronics factory, built in 1922.Spring 2022The Moscow Pavillion and the local Moscow Apothecary Garden invited the work of the Dutch association of Botanical Artists (VBKN) to their botanical gardens. Being in touch with our colleagues there was a moving experience.We sincerely hope that our work provided their audiences with some peace in these disturbing times.
