Ten years after

Ten years after I won the Hague portrait competition ‘Long live the King’ with this print, it has been given a beautiful place in the Dutch Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva, with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It was nice

I look back with satisfaction on the short exhibition Going Dutch in Elmina. It has given me new insights about our past and how we should relate to each other. For me it was also a reunion of my paintings after twenty years. And they are fine. They are pampered by their owners. That makes me feel good.

Master photographer Carel de Groot made a wonderful impression of the exhibition on the last day. It gives those who missed it a good impression of what it was like.
