About this artwork
It started in the beginning of 2024, all of a sudden I had a craving for painting skulls. The war between Russia and Ukraine, Israël and Hamas, Global warming and animals, insects and plants going extinct, major pollution on land and sea gave me an awkward feeling about painting comfortable pictures. It is not the right time for me to paint pleasant pictures.
And now 2025, nothing much has changed certainly not for the better.
In this piece, I explored… the fragile boundary between existence and void, using ethereal, almost ghostly figures to evoke a sense of metaphysical mystery. The elongated, distorted forms reflect inner vulnerability and transformation. Through oil and pastel, I aimed to create a haunting atmosphere that stirs introspection. This artwork brings an enigmatic, contemplative energy to any space, inviting viewers to ponder the unseen depths of being.

Theo Overgaauw, a Dutch painter and sculptor, works primarily with pastels and oil paint, drawing on a rich education from the Vrij Academie and a masterclass with Jörg Immendorff. He embraces expressive, loose techniques layered without preliminary sketches, often shifting styles and evoking a slightly macabre, surreal edge. His recent works confront the anxieties of war, ecological collapse, and mortality, using distorted figures and skulls to channel a profound sense of urgency, loss, and existential disquiet.
