Reginald Kruger
Dutch Contemporary Visual Artist

Reginald's passion for art ignited at a young age, as he found himself captivated by the world of creativity. Drawing became his constant companion, accompanying him from the tender age of three and remaining an unwavering presence in his life. As he grew older, his artistic pursuits expanded, and by the age of twelve, he had already dabbled in airbrushing and painting.
 
His love for art was so profound that he even chose to graduate in art and drawing as an additional subject during his high school years. 
 
His passion for art was evident in his exceptional performance in his art classes. His dedication and talent were reflected in his consistent achievement of straight A+ grades for all his art projects.
 
However, despite his deep-rooted passion, Reginald found himself pursuing a different path after high school. With a clear goal of becoming the president of the Porsche company, he enrolled in university to study mechanical engineering.
 
During his time at university, Reginald's artistic spirit continued to thrive beneath the surface. He found himself creating logos, company liveries and various graphic design materials for companies, eventually leading him to establish his own strategic marketing and advertisement agency. This venture flourished into a successful regional agency, employing eighteen talented individuals.​  

However, unforeseen circumstances cast a shadow over Reginald's journey, and he faced the bitter taste of bankruptcy many years later. It was during this challenging period that he made a pivotal decision to finally pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a visual artist.
 
From the moment he embarked on this new chapter, Reginald's artistic evolution became evident. Initially, his focus revolved around exclusive art pieces inspired by automobiles, where he skillfully blended his passion for cars with his artistic prowess. Gradually, his style transformed, delving into the realm of abstract art that challenged the viewer's perception of reality. Additionally, he began creating captivating portraits of women, emphasizing their unique facets and giving them a voice through his artwork.
 
As his artistic vision expanded, so did his repertoire of techniques. Reginald moved beyond his early days of airbrushing on brushed aluminum, incorporating elements such as gold leaf, epoxy, and acrylic paint into his creations. Every artwork he creates is a testament to his commitment to delivering a visually stunning experience. Each piece is a unique masterpiece, meticulously crafted to engage the viewer's senses and play with the interplay of light. The materials used create three-dimensional effects that capture and play with the light to dramatic effect.
 
Reginald's chosen canvas is brushed aluminum, which serves as the foundation for his artistic expression. With the aid of ink, airbrush, acrylic, gold leaf, and epoxy, he masterfully works these materials to create captivating three-dimensional effects. The end result is a visual feast for the eyes, where light dances upon the surface, breathing life into his extraordinary creations.

Reginald's portraits highlight feminine strength in an elegant way. A subtle interplay of realism and abstract makes for impressive portraits.

Reginald's artworks are a tribute to women in all their femininity.
