Diederik van Appel was active for many years as an agent for Dutch artists at exhibitions around the world. During his travels, he got more and more the feeling and the urge to express his own creativity. Inspired by his experience, his artistic insight and his passion for art has developed his own pop art. His art is a combination of digital techniques with photography as a starting point. He uses gold leaf, lots of color and various other items. The final treatment with epoxy ensures a beautiful 3-D effect.
