The Rotterdam visual artist Willem Visser (1956) made several works of the town of Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse in the French Pyrenees, which is located at the foot of the imposing castle of Peyrepertuse. The red and orange roofs of the village contrast beautifully with the green surroundings. The bright sunlight creates beautiful shadows.
Willem Visser was educated at the Rotterdam Academy from 1974 to 1979. Between 1979 and 2002 he regularly exhibited landscapes and cityscapes in the Netherlands and Belgium. The polder landscape in particular had his interest at that time. His work is in private and public collections at home and abroad. Between 2003 and 2017 painting was put on the back burner. During this time he worked as a project supporter, designer and webmaster at a non-profit organization. In 2017 he picked up painting again and - in his own words - continued where he 'stopped in 2002'. His main subject is still the landscape, but the emphasis has shifted from the polder landscape to the landscape in the countries around the Mediterranean.
