The Artist

By

Gustav Ykema

The purpose of posting this site was for me to expose my self-taught art journey with anyone interested in how such a journey develops .

The journey started thanks to my father who gave me his knowledge and his camera. I was 7-8 years old at the time.

The artforms I pursued include photography, pencil drawing, pastel, charcoal, oil and acrylic painting, watercolour, wood and metal work and poetry.

This site remains a work in progress, and my wish is to pass on to you a journey of my progress throughout my lifetime.
