Pride will have fall is the first oil painting I have created in the year 2009 of the City life collection. Yellow is the dominant color in this surrealistic painting. The combination of adding elements of nature and the modern society is used in this painting to leave a visual impression for art lovers and art buyers. The powerful colors and really fine brush strokes are used in this painting. Famous 20th century painters like Paul Delvaux, Carel Willink, Salvador Dali and Michael Parkes gave me inspiration to offer homage to their artistic vision trough my own art by combining elements of magic realism and surrealism into my paintings. Besides prints on canvas for art lovers and art buyers it’s also possible to have a look at the original oil paintings on canvas on www.haanstrafineart.nl.

In this painting two mythological tales overlap with each other; the tales of Niobe and Ikarus. In both tales pride will have a fall.
