The Amsterdam painter and draftsman Bob Buijs belongs to the 20th-century 'figuratives', artists who consciously chose to represent reality. However, mainly because of the watercolour technique, he moved more and more freely with regard to his motifs. His first sketches were usually an accurate registration. In the final result, the essence remained. Remarkable in the work of the painter is the light, which creates space. His color was strongly influenced by frequent visits to the south of France and Brittany.
