work

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.

pieter van der heul makes work on paper with acrylic paint, oil paint, eastern ink, oil crayon, charcoal and watercolour with mixed technique.

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.

pieter van der heul has his own handwriting.

his work is poetic, sketchy.
