Numerous attendees gathered on November 20 at Casino Marbella to celebrate the beginning of a new creative phase of the Dutch artist. Jacob van DoornThe exhibition attracted an audience, both national and international, and marked a before and after in his career.
The evening, full of emotion, color and energy, was attended by the media, art lovers and local cultural figures.
The atmosphere was unbeatable: live music from Virginiathe renowned voice of Vintage Experience, enveloped the space with her elegance and sensitivity, accompanying an evening that was, in every sense, a celebration of art and life.
A artist who is reborn through color: Born in Hilversum, the Netherlands, Jacob van Doorn has moved from graphic design and advertising to a vibrant, free and deeply expressive painting. After more than twenty years running a bar-gallery in Marbella, the artist now immerses himself in pictorial art with a palette that breathes vitality and movement.
His works, executed in acrylic on canvas, stand out for their bold use of color: intense reds, electric blues, luminous greens that seem to pulsate on the canvas. The figurative portraits capture gestures and everyday scenes with a freshness that invites us to look at the world with new eyes.
Art as a vital impulse: The exhibition is not a retrospective, but the beginning of a powerful and luminous stage. After the recent loss of his life partner of 58 years, van Doorn transforms grief into creation, and turns art into a vital impulse. Each painting is an affirmation of the lived experience, a celebration of transformation and resilience.
The exhibition will be open to the public from November 20, 2025 through January 14, 2026, every day of 20:00 h to 04:00 h at Casino Marbella. Exclusive access for people over 18 years old with ID card or passport.
