the central theme in the work of pieter van der heul is to show his own inner self in order to achieve self-realization.

usually imagined by archetypal figures.

his work is related to cobra (lucebert, chaissac, soutter, dubuffet).

it is a kind of art brut but not trapped, more free, with more exploration.
