Sometimes the loudest scream is the one no one hears.

This captivating acrylic print evokes a sense of mystery and eerie beauty. The distorted, surreal architecture of the house is framed by twisted, bare trees and a soft, foggy atmosphere. The muted tones of beige, brown, and grey create an unsettling yet enchanting scene, while the rippling effect on the house gives it a dreamlike, almost ghostly quality. The delicate details of the windows and archway stand in stark contrast to the surrounding fluidity, drawing the viewer into this haunting yet serene moment frozen in time. The presence of a faint golden cross adds a subtle touch of symbolism, suggesting both history and spirituality amidst the decay. This print is perfect for those who appreciate the fusion of architectural beauty, surrealism, and a touch of the macabre in their art.

Probably his most famous skull painting: Kop van een skelet met brandende sigaret (Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette), 1886.
