Paintings by Ben Heemskerk- Picasso

The artwork

Picasso, 3 Faces is an original artwork by Ben Heemskerk, measuring 80 x 60 cm. The painting shows an imaginary figure in which three different faces seem to come together. The different perspectives, distorted forms and striking colour fields create an image that continues to surprise. The combination of red, orange, yellow, blue, green, black and white creates a powerful and lively whole. Despite the expressive colours, the composition remains balanced thanks to the calm light-blue background and the strong structure of the portrait. The figure looks directly at the viewer and immediately sparks curiosity. The title deliberately refers to Picasso and the influence his cubist approach has had on Heemskerk’s work. Yet this is not a copy or interpretation of an existing work. Ben Heemskerk uses the visual language of cubism as a starting point for a contemporary artwork that fully carries his own signature. This painting is a true eye-catcher. It attracts attention, brings colour into the room and creates an artistic atmosphere that feels both playful and intellectual.

The artist

Ben Heemskerk is a contemporary artist known for his colourful, expressive and humorous artworks. His creations are a tribute to the style of Pablo Picasso, characterised by bold compositions, strong contrasts and a free approach to form and perspective. Imaginary portraits play a central role in many of his works. Figures are built from different viewpoints, geometric forms and vivid colours, creating a dynamic tension between recognition and imagination. Although the influence of Picasso is clearly visible, Heemskerk has developed his own contemporary style. His paintings bring optimism, creativity and a sense of playful freedom into an interior. At the same time, they invite you to look longer and discover new details again and again.
