Biography
Toon Diepstraten was born and raised in the Netherlands
He started drawing and painting at a very young age, he attended
Art-academy in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
During this time he got highly involved in aplying computers in Art.
Using his own artificial intelligence routines this resulted in his graduating with a software-program that could communicate in dutch with visitors
and changed the environment accordingly by displaying paintings, drawings and even Poetry.
For years Toon went ever deeper into virtuality…
Upto 2002. After reaching 40 he returned to ‘reality’ and started making physical objects again
in an attempt to reconnect.
Feeling the brushes, smelling the paint, hearing the canvas.
a routine of traveling while working is creating a growing production of charcoal drawings which gives the guiding 'Map of Europe' a unique point of view in discovering the most amazing places.

Charcoal on Paper and Oil on Canvas
The techniques i use most at the moment are
Charcoal on Paper, since this is the most primitive and effective way to make a drawing.
It is the perfect contrapoint to all digital work.
Oil on Canvas, since this is the most perfect material born out of tradition and with the best quality of colors and textures.

Continuing my efforts in Portugal (Faro) now.
Just working outside in front of the house.The light is perfect and the temperature so high that the paint is almost dry allready before i put it on the canvas.
Today i got more canvasses, so i am sure that the exhibit in Madrid will be a very nice one.
I love the fact that i can make a painting and exhibit it immediately !!!
