About me
Being raised with horses meant they became
my safe haven. My work is defined by horses
that have something to say, asking you to listen.
Mostly working in acrylic I seek out strong
shapes, high-intensity colours and bold
brushstrokes which are guided by emotion, focus
and real life dichotomies. Art is my meditation,
through brushstrokes I breathe.
Through my art I ask you to pause. To slow down. Take a breath.

Upcoming Exhibition:
BoerEnPaard | June 11th – July 5th
Starting June 11th, I will be presenting a new collection of paintings in the Kunstruimte de Smederij in Sappemeer.
BoerEnPaard explores the disappearing relation between humans and horses throughout the twentieth century. I focus on local stories and memories from within my family.
The vernissage is held on the 13th of June at 14:00/2PM and is open to the public. You are most welcome to join me!
For more information and location, see the flyer on the right or visit the website of Kunstruimte de Smederij.
3D scalemodels
Besides being an equine artist, I also work on painting 3D models. These projects are in collaboration with my dad, Peter Pankras, a knowledgable data specialist, and Eyefly B.V., a versatile Groninger company specialized in amongst other things drone mapping. The aim of these 3D models is to combine leading 3D skills with traditional art practice by processing drone data into high detailed digital 3D models. These models are printed and then painted by hand. The results are mesmerizing and far more captivating than a digital 3D model on its own. It becomes art.
