Daan Noppen was born in Arnhem (Netherlands) and is now an international artist who mainly focuses on drawings and painting. He is particularly known for his realistic and life-sized drawings of portraits and bodies. Physics and the relationship to our being, our emotions, play a significant role in his work. The artist plays with notions of reality by projecting time as a physical dimension. Instead of becoming something 'scientific', this opens a visual world of our hidden layers and our desires, our pain and our call to be loved. The artist Daan Noppen gives a special dynamic to his pencil drawings of still lifes and portraits. His works are not only striking due to their precise layering of details but also in their enormous scale. This scale gives his subjects a more palpable presence. When you look more closely at his work, it shows mathematical equations between his brush strokes and our reality. The work of Daan Noppen has been exhibited in New York (USA), Mexico City (Mexico), Shanghai (China), Metz (France), Luxembourg (Luxembourg), Belgium, and the Netherlands.
