Standing statue Mees in Zeeland traditional men's costume

This powerful portrait shows Mees in a modern interpretation of the Zeeland traditional costume, enriched with a basalt block print. The image directly references the Zeeland landscape, where basalt has symbolised protection, strength, and steadfastness for generations.

The modern traditional costume retains its recognisable origins, but the graphic basalt structure gives it a contemporary and robust appearance. Mees radiates calm and self-confidence, giving the portrait a timeless character. Tradition and modern design come together here in an image that feels both understated and powerful.

The work is produced and finished on dibond or plexiglass in the Netherlands, to order. These high-quality materials ensure sharp details, deep textures, and a luxurious appearance. Optionally, the portrait can be fitted with a handmade wooden tray frame by a Dutch framer.
