Biography

Ron Dirven (Etten-Leur, 1962) studied painting from 1986 to 1991 at the academy of art Sint Joost in Breda. During his studies he was mainly concerned with the self-portrait. Afterwards he worked as a curator, first at Breda's Museum and then at the Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert. He continued to paint in the lee of these activities. For years he made studies of nature. He never showed them in exhibitions. Hundreds of works on paper thus accumulated in his studio. Only after years does he publish a selection of his works.
