Gebouw A at Sunset – Radio Kootwijk
60 x 80 cm, oil on panel (palette knife)

A love letter to a landmark, Gebouw A at Sunset captures the old radio building in Radio Kootwijk as it bathes in the last light of day. Painted with palette knife, the thick textures echo the building’s age — chipped, stoic, and quietly magnificent. The white concrete walls soak up the colours of the sky like memories held in stone: deep violets, rust-golds, and silent blues. Just down the road from the artist’s home, this national monument is more than architecture — it’s a keeper of stories, both grand and forgotten. Here, it stands humbled and glorious at once, hiccuping into old age, dignified by time and light. The painting is not only a portrait of place, but of reverence — for what endures, for what fades, and for what we come to know only through stillness.
