He creates portraits of distinguished figures who intrigue him or for whom he has great admiration. Verkerk does not paint in a traditional sense, for he translates his personal vision into a unique interpretation of the subject. His series of portraits show a striking picture of his interests and reflect his world of ideas. As Verkerk says, “You can see my portraits as an allegorical diary: the persons whom I paint represent thoughts or ideas that occupied my mind or struck me. It’s about empathy. See it as a tribute, a present to the person portrayed.” This painting is a portrait of Yugoslav writer and poet Danilo Kiš, one of the most significant writers in 20th century European literature. * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
