Doris’ Eyes
In a phase in 1990, de Hilster created numerous works using Crayola crayons. This was inspired by Picasso, one of David’s favorite artists and is drawn from David’s live pencil portrait of Doris.
Teen Luanda
This is based off a self portrait that David’s daughter Luanda took of herself. David brought it into his computer graphics computer and drew on top of it.
Patricia and Luanda
David took a photo of his mom with Luanda and made this drawing. It is very special to David because his mom loved Luanda being that she was a granddaughter with the “de Hilster” name. Now that David’s mom is gone, this drawing is very special to David.
Doris
De Hilster, tired of doing realistic pencil drawings, promised his wife Doris to draw her portrait. In 1990, David finally capitulated. This was from a live setting and took about two and a half hours.
Tres Gerações
De Hilster drew this from a photo he took of Doris, her Mother Dona Nadir, and Luanda.
