Daniel Tavenier He was born in Katwijk in 1964 and was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. The themes that comprise his work are personal and direct, close to home, such as "Sea" and "Ships". In addition, Tavenier is inspired by the Groningen landscape. The portrait fascinates him. A great source of inspiration for him is also the Bible; as a theme, but above all as a way of seeing. He would like to combine the earthly and the superterrestrial in his work logically and in a natural way. Just as a fish is just fish', but can also be the symbol of the Christian faith; whether a bible story can inspire one; image solidified in paint. In the Katwijks Museum Daniël Tavenier shows his latest work, a series of etchings and material paintings of smoked fish and mackerel smokehouse around the corner. "Ordinary things are very special, if you only have an eye for them," says the artist.
