Casino Marbella presents the new artistic stage of Jacob van Doorn, born in Hilversum, Netherlands, a creator who has transformed his career from graphic design and advertising to a vibrant and energetic painting. After more than two decades running a bar-gallery in Marbella, Jacob now immerses himself in pictorial art with a renewed strength and a palette that breathes vitality.

Color, freshness and movement

His works, executed in acrylic paint 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, with free and expressive strokes, capture gestures, glances and everyday scenes with a freshness that invites contemplation. Each painting is a celebration of life, an affirmation that art can be impulse, joy and discovery.

A new creative stage

More than a retrospective, this exhibition marks the beginning of a powerful phase in van Doorn's work. Color not only decorates: it builds atmospheres, suggests emotions and projects a contagious energy. It is art that breathes, that moves, that invites us to look at the world with new eyes.

Although she has recently said goodbye to her life companion of 58 years, that experience has been the seed of inspiration for this new stage, where art becomes a vital impulse and a celebration of what she has lived. An exhibition that does not speak of loss, but of transformation. Of how art can be a new beginning, full of light and strength.
