In his paintings Roger Raveel shows us what perception is. That is his theme and partly explains why Raveel's subjects are often so simple: everyday things, without history, without anecdote.

Through the inclusion of reality in his work, Raveel investigates the relativity of the experience of reality. In 'What Do We Actually Understand' we see the simple outline of a seated man. This man is Roger Raveel himself as a spectator of the reality of his painted world. I complicated things by adding another painted reality.

Wat Weten We Eigenlijk is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the back.

Shipping takes about two weeks no matter where you live in the world. You'll receive your painting safely packaged and ready to install immediately.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
