הַכּוֹתֶל הַמַּעֲרָבִ / حَائِط ٱلْبُرَاق

  In the heart of Jerusalem, amidst the ancient cobblestone streets and the echoes of centuries past, resided an artist named Dwaalhaas. With a heart as vast as the desert and a soul as deep as the Dead Sea, Dwaalhaas found solace in the intricate tapestry of human emotions that unfolded before him at the Western Wall. Dwaalhaas was a master of capturing the essence of life, weaving his brushstrokes with the precision of a sculptor and the passion of a poet. His paintings ar not merely representations of the world around him; they were windows into the depths of the human spirit, revealing the unspoken prayers, the unspoken fears, and the unspoken dreams that echoed through the ancient stones. One day, as Dwaalhaas sat amidst the throngs of pilgrims and worshippers, he was struck by a profound sense of longing. He yearned to capture the essence of the Western Wall, not just as a physical structure, but as a vessel of collective faith and resilience. He envisioned a painting that would

Hendrickje Stoffels, A Woman Bathing in a Stream ( updated )

In the heart of Amsterdam, amidst the bustling canals and cobblestone streets, two paintings, separated by centuries, held a silent dialogue. One, a masterpiece by Rembrandt, captured the essence of a woman’s vulnerability, her body intertwined with nature’s embrace. The other, a contemporary rendition by Dwaalhaas, mirrored the original, yet infused it with a modern sensibility, a blend of realism and surrealism that defied categorization. The Rembrandt painting, titled “Woman Bathing in a Stream,” portrayed a woman of ethereal beauty, her form emerging from the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. Her skin, bathed in the warm glow, shimmered with an almost ethereal sheen, while her flowing locks cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face of delicate features and soulful eyes. The scene exuded a sense of tranquility, the tranquil stream mirroring the woman’s inner serenity. Dwaalhaas’s interpretation, titled “A Woman Bathing in an Impressionistic Stream,” took the familiar s

The bustling city of Detroit, Michigan, was home to a myriad of stories, some hidden in plain sight, others whispered in the wind.

His paintings were said to possess an otherworldly aura, transporting viewers to realms beyond the confines of their imagination. One fateful evening, as the city settled into the quiet of the night, a peculiar incident unfolded. A masked figure, their intentions shrouded in secrecy, broke into Dwaalhaas's secluded studio. With swift, practiced movements, they carefully removed two of his most prized creations, their silhouettes dancing against the moonlight streaming through the broken window. The stolen masterpieces, a swirling vortex of blues an

Dwaalhaas is a Dutch artist who is known for his colorful and imaginative paintings, drawings and collages. He is often associated with the Cobra movement, which was an avant-garde movement of artists from Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands from 1948 to 1951¹. The name CoBrA is an acronym of the capitals where the founding members came from: Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam¹. The Cobra artists wanted to achieve a free, spontaneous and experimental mode of expression, in which they were inspired by the art of children, mentally ill, primitive peoples and the modern masters such as Picasso, Klee, Miró and Kandinsky. They used bright colors, expressive shapes and symbolic motifs to express their emotions, fantasies and social criticism³⁴. Dwaalhaas fits in with the Cobra group because he also has a spontaneous and imaginative way of working, which is not bound by rules or conventions.

It was a cold winter night in the shop of Geppetto, the woodcarver. He had just made a new puppet from a piece of wood that he had found in the forest. He named him Pinocchio and hoped that he would someday become a real boy. But Pinocchio was not finished yet. He had no eyes, nose, mouth or ears. Geppetto decided to continue working on his puppet the next day. In a corner of the shop lived a little cricket, who had been living in Geppetto's house for a hundred years. His name was Jiminy and he was a good friend of Geppetto. He loved music and sang songs for the woodcarver. He also had a special gift: he could talk to people and animals. That night, when Geppetto slept, something wonderful happened. A fairy with turquoise hair appeared in the shop. She had heard of Geppetto's wish and wanted to help him. She touched Pinocchio with her magic wand and gave him life. Pinocchio started to move and talk. He was happy that he was alive, but he did not know what to do. He l

I decided to check my phone, and see if there was anything interesting online. I opened my social media app, and scrolled through the posts. I saw some pictures of people having fun, some videos of cute animals, and some memes that made me chuckle. But nothing really caught my attention, until I saw a post that made me stop and stare. It was a post by Dwaalhaas, a famous VR artist that I admired and followed. He had posted a screenshot of his latest VR painting, which he had made on Oculus Quest, on Christmas Monday. It was a stunning and colorful image, that showed a scene of Christmas joys and winter's embrace. It had abstract figures, snowflakes, stars, and lights, and it looked like a magical and festive world.
