Their creator is Gerard Boersma, who says: "I paint people on the streets, in stores, public transport and museums. They show the way people see themselves, interact or are influenced by modern developments in various ways.
"I freeze time and our fast and busy lives are forever captured in a moment. Finally ready to be observed quietly."
Gerard is an internationally recognised artist and has been painting for over 15 years. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries and is owned in private collections worldwide. Discover more of his work at gerardboersma.nl.
