Hi, I am Dick Tulp.
​I paint and make sculptures because that is what makes my heart beat. I am inspired by the way the light reveals beauty, good and truth in all the shapes and colours around us. Those are ancient Platonian Ideas, I know, but they are still crucial to me. I find them every time my muse emerges .

​
​We are standing on the shoulders of giants, so I try to find my own path while studying traditional painting and sculpting. Beauty plays an important role for me.
​Like the English put it: art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb de comfortable.

Portraits are my favorite subject.
To view some examples click on painted portraits or on portrait sculptures.
