Michiel Hertroys

Welcome to this web site. I am a graphics artist and here you can get an impression of my activities.

I create i.a. paintings, pastels, pictures on paper and scetchbooks. My artwork may indeed look as if it is accomplished carelessly, but hours, even days of striking out, painting over and wiping out usually precede the final stage.

I do not paint things as they are - anybody can see that for themselves - but I paint what hides behind those things, that, which is conceiled from eyes.

What I mean by that can be seen on this web site, and in this place you can get acquainted to my art with pictures.

A book about my art work has been released. Parts of this book have been translated and can be found on this site.
