Caribbean memories
This colorful painting is being auctioned by the artist Ruben van Veen himself and is entitled Caribbean memories . It depicts a sultry summer night somewhere on a Caribbean island: “When you think about how nice we had it. When I think back on it with all my imagination…”
The painting was created in 2002 and completed in 2024.
The artist Ruben van Veen (1960) lives and works in Gouda, the Netherlands and took drawing and painting lessons at the Volksuniversiteit in Gouda and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He has exhibited at home and abroad since 1992. His work is included in museum and private collections. In 2016 the catalogue “Ruben van Veen / Drawings Paintings Cardboard” was published, a selection of his work from the period 1994 - 2016.
Ruben van Veen makes drawings, paintings and works on strawboard in a figurative intuitive working method in which the subconscious plays an important part in the creative process.
Without a preconceived plan, he starts a piece of work. Then a human figure always appears. Often accompanied by an animal, a fruit, an everyday object. This combination of images provides a glimpse into a bizarre world. The leading theme in the work is therefore man and the complex social relationship that people have with each other. It is about desires and fears and indicates the thin dividing line between seduction and rejection, harmony and conflict, tenderness and fight.
Not without irony he attempts to portray the mystery of life and searches for a constantly changing ideal of beauty.
