Vermeer had several children - some sources even mention as many as fifteen, several of whom died in early childhood, and ten of whom lived to adulthood. To support such a large family, Vermeer took on other professions besides painting, e.g. he ran an inn and traded in works of art - he was even sometimes called upon as an expert in this area. He painted basically only commercially and for specific audiences.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
