Let’s talk Vermeer

2023/07/11

As you probably know, the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam had an exhibition about Vermeer. It had a huge press, marketing was full-stop on it, and tickets were sold out before the doors opened. So, Let’s Talk Vermeer! In this episode, I want to discuss the documentary I have watched: Close To Vermeer and propose a way we might look at Vermeer’s art. With all the tech available, how deep should we go and demystify the mystic? In other words, if an old 'master' is declared a 'genius' when demystifying

2023/07/04

In episode 64 of Art Talk, I like to ponder on the psychology of collecting art. I am an Art Historian and a portrait artist, trained in drawing and painting life. Portraits are still very much wanted, but in my research I found different subjects like abstract, still life, cityscapes, digital art etc. striving for popularity. I wondered what the psychology of collecting art is and if that is topic-related or something else. Why do people collect art? Enjoy Art Talk? Please consider support on

This is episode 61 of Art Talk. In this episode, I briefly discuss why colour theory is key, and the knowledge of how to use oil paint is one of the first things a painter needs to know. “It is a form of self-deception, or perhaps merely a convenient excuse, to say that the materials of the old masters were better than those of today, and that the splendid preservation of many of their pictures is to be attributed to this factor. But most of all must their success be attributed to the building up
