To speak in football terms, right away it felt like a home game! The topic also required no research since I am already fully into it. Nevertheless, it is always interesting to read insights from a different perspective.
I always have a soft spot for nostalgia, even more to times before I was even born. The anthem reinforces that feeling. It’s very traditional, which I really like. I have to admit though, the whole pre-match build-up these days is hardcore and not everyone sings Hand in Hand.
That, to my mind, I could go completely wild in my interpretation of the feeling in the stands. When I am in the stadium, I really like to look at the people around me. There are so many characters walking around. I’ve also secretly incorporated a number of my friends into the illustration…
I always focus on movement. Even when I observe people, I find their posture or the way they walk the most interesting. Where that comes from I don’t know exactly, but I’m also quite tall and slender and have similar motor skills to the people in my drawings. The fact that the canvas is static and fixed in its shape is exactly what I find interesting to break through. I always try to imagine the frame isn’t there, so that the drawing continues outside the frame. Playing with the composition or perspective ensures that people are drawn more into the image or keep looking longer to discover everything.
I often find the movement of a body conveys more emotion or is more interesting than the expression of a face. In addition, keeping the detail to a minimum makes the overall image a bit more abstract or mysterious. However, the friends I have incorporated into the image are very recognisable. I find it funny that you can capture a person precisely with minimal means.
I find variety the most interesting but of course subjects you have a lot of affinity with are extra fun because you are more emotionally involved in them. You then automatically see that reflected in the work. In general, I am in the lifestyle corner. A lot of illustrations around people’s behaviour and emotions.
True, and this clashes sometimes. Rotterdam and certainly older Feyenoord fans have a strong history with hardcore music, which had its heyday in the 1990s. They are involved in organising the atmosphere around matches and hardcore music is of course a good warm-up to get the crowd going.
Because the stadium is very old and there is a lot of metal, everything reverberates and sounds extra shrill. Combined with the poor sound system, it makes for an intimidating atmosphere especially for opposing teams.
But the history of Feyenoord goes back further of course, many traditional songs originated way before the 90s and so these are still sung or played. That combination doesn't always work together, but on the other hand it’s nice that they can coexist. Feyenoord is special in its overall history with so much individuality. It’s just special that all generations have their share and pass it on to each other.
