Hi Guys, I’ve just joined the NFT-crypto space and opened up an @opensea digital art shop, specifically for my passion project NOIR! 🎉. You can be the exclusive owner of an original digital artwork right now. YUP! It’s a revolution baby. Link in bio. _____
To make NOIR an experience, I’ve conceptualised the art pieces even more than the visual style itself. Every piece is named after a classic jazz song, selected to match the art piece perfectly. The titles/names of the art works are the titles of songs by legendary jazz musicians like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Art Pepper and more.
_____
Miyako - Patricia - Laura - Dinah - Haze - Ceora - Naima - Misty and Diane. I’ve made a NOIR Spotify playlist, specifically for these art pieces, also link in bio. Listen to the track as you put the artwork on full screen and you’ll get the picture.
_____ Thank you! This is a new venture for me as well so let’s see how this turns out. Love. 🙏🏽❤️  ___ #nftart

NOIR #9: This is the last of my NOIR’s for now. Swipe to see the backward evolution of this serie.

These drawings started a few years ago as I searched for new techniques to implement.

Coming from a style with many many colours and many many lines I restricted myself with a minimal amount of colours and minimal amount of lines.

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is the only way of progress. I’ve learned a lot about composition, lighting and how to create depth working minimally. I hope you enjoyed seeing these works show up in your time line here and there. —-
The next posts are going to be more colourful again!  Thanks and enjoy your day! 🙏🏽❤️

I had a conversation with a lady about my recent work. She thought NOIR is beautiful, but also saw it as a distorted view of reality and that it might be harmful to young ladies.

Obviously I don’t desire having anyone being bothered by my art. That’s not my intent. That being said, I am not here to please everyone neither. Art is many things. To me it’s a very personal reflection of my inner working. It is also a reflection of the current age and zeitgeist.

My work is an exaggerated view most of the time, with one foot in reality and the other in a pool of fantasy. In regard of physical beauty, there is a phenomenon called 'supernormal stimulus'. Dig into that if the term is unknown to you, it explains a lot about human beauty standards.

When feeling any form of hurt seeing a creative outing that is not personally directed to you,
ask why you feel that way. In many ways, it has more to do with the one who beholds than the one who presents.

The mirror is one of the most important tools for self-development.

Be aware of your own beauty when staring at your reflection.

❤️🙏🏽

Aight peeps! I’ve been very quiet on my posts as I was using IG mostly to express my opinion on our current societal shift. But obviously most of you follow me for my art, this is my illustration page right 🤔😅.

Therefor I want to apologize for not keeping up with posting art.

The coming posts are the next batch of my Noir’s. I love my Noir’s, especially these.

I started NOIR two years ago to refrain myself from using my standard way of drawing; lots of lines and color. I decided to use only three colors and avoid linework as much as possible, with an added mysterious narrative.

Stay positive, keep on making art that moves you and reach a moment of ikigai, even if it’s a short one.

Enjoy your life!

🙏🏽❤️

NOIR #6

‘Appreciation’ journal snippet 12-11-2020: I am over appreciative, if that even exists. Everyday I look at the sky and think by myself how amazing it is to be alive.

My life is the best life. Life is so short but dope. It’s important to stay aware of being alive. Our lives are everything, it’s beautiful and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I am thankful for a healthy and long life. Thankful for my relationships, the Earth, this age, my intellect, my family, my insights, my talent, my love, my admiration towards life itself.

My appreciation for life is so big that I feel my heart swelling.

The energy is rising.

🙏🏽❤️

For the last four weeks I’ve been microdosing 0.3g dried psilocybin mushrooms twice per week.

The effects are amazing in general. Meditation is way more deep and intense, mostly I want to keep meditating once the 25min bell goes off.

Overall it results in more clarity, peacefulness and overall increased feeling of creativity.

Truly one of the best changes of structure I have experienced.

Curious tho, anyone experience with microdosing? What are your findings?

🙏🏽❤️

For two weeks I’ve been completely off social media and let me tell you: It’s beautiful out here!

I deleted the app and blocked the websites on all my devices for at least 320+ hours, so I could not access it at all. There is so much enjoyment and liberation when you actually can’t share and receive anything. The first few days were a bit off as I wanted tonshare my insights with you, but couldn’t.

I’ve done many things tho: Took my tome to draw many NOIR’s, cleaned up the house, hung with people undisturbed, visited the Hoge Veluwe (forest) with my girl, experienced my brother getting an official partnership with his wife in their Marvel suits and took a few days to hang with my parents in person.

So much enjoyment and so much focus for the last 14 days! But I need to get back on this as Inwant to share my artworks and insights with you.

I’ve made an agreement with myself: I’m limiting my time spent on socials for one hour max per day, between a certain window. I will be online an hour after I post.

Anyway, now is the time to take a break and breathe a bit, it’s so healthy for the mind!

🙏🏽❤️

Hi all! I’ve been commissioned by the amazing @kaeyae.alo to make a moving artwork for her latest single ‘Wild’! I had a fun time making this one!

Much love to Kaeyae for reaching out and for making another piece for her.

Go check out Kaeyae Alo - Wild on all platforms and put it on in the bedroom, partnered up / solo, in the subway, it’s all good 🤫. Haha.

Have a wild day and enjoy this sensual piece of art from Kaeyae!  ❤️🙏🏽

After creating the morning sunrise, seen in the previous post, I continued my recent findings of the blob brush to create a daytime scenery of a mix between a tropical yet urban environment.   I’ve dreamt a lot of living near a tropical coast in the east, that has a touch of city to it as well. One day, after this is all and done, it might happen. Until then, I will keep the vision alive. ⁣

During the first stages of lockdown I experimented further with a new technique I started in 2019. ⁣
⁣
Basically only using a flat blob brush in illustrator and try avoid the eraser or the delete button as much as possible.   At that time, unknowingly what’s about to happen and staying inside, I longed to the serenity of the tropical coasts.   I can imagine, one day, I will live my last years in a place like this. ⁣

Morning Sunrise.⁣
