🎨 A Collaboration Like No Other: Dwaalhaas’s First Live Painting Experiment! I am Dwaalhaas, the artist from Eindhoven, and I'm embarking on a completely new and exciting adventure!

For the first time ever, I’ve been commissioned to create a collaborative painting with a total stranger. This unique request came from the children of a man who is turning 75, aiming to give him a truly original and unforgettable birthday gift.

The Story Behind the Canvas This session is a professional "try-out" for me. It’s a chance to explore a new facet of my work and my art-as-design philosophy. While I’ve historically given my work away too cheaply, my art and financial situation have evolved—my new motto is "take it or leave it."

This two-hour session, priced at a special introductory rate of €200 (including materials), will inform my future pricing, which will be €150 per hour based on supply and demand. This process of evolution is key to my art.

Join the Live Experience! Tune in LIVE on Wednesday, October 1st, around 12:00 PM CEST to watch me and the birthday man create art together!

Will it be chaos? Will it be genius? Will it be the perfect 75th birthday gift? You decide!

Vincent van Gogh room Eindhoven Live-cam

The iconic Yellow House in Arles, France, once rented by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, symbolizes more than just a building; it represents Van Gogh’s profound artistic dream of establishing a vibrant artists’ colony, known as the “Atelier of the South.”

This space was intended as a creative sanctuary for like-minded artists such as Paul Gauguin to live, work, and inspire each other under the bright Provençal light. Though Van Gogh’s vision ended tragically and the original Yellow House was destroyed during World War II, its legacy continues to resonate in art history as a symbol of community, creativity, and hope.

Today, that spirit is revived through the Yellow House of the contemporary artist Dwaalhaas, transformed into a “Leefmuseum” (Living Museum). Much like Van Gogh, Dwaalhaas merges life and art, creating a dynamic environment where art is not just exhibited but lived, created, and shared.

Painting the house yellow establishes a direct visual and symbolic connection to Van Gogh’s legendary residence, paying tribute to his ideals and the universal artistic drive to nurture a space where creativity thrives.

This modern Yellow House serves as a living interpretation of Van Gogh’s dream, blurring the lines between art, life, and audience, and inviting visitors to engage deeply with the creative process, becoming part of the story and inspiration that emanates from a yellow wall.
