As biblical artist Egbert Modderman paints, he strives to be sincere by staying true to himself and his orthodox Protestant heritage.
It’s a successful approach for the 31-year-old Dutchman. He’s only been painting professionally since 2016, yet he’s had a Dutch-American patron, and a solo show at the Bible Museum in Washington where his works are periodically on display. And this year, Modderman won the prestigious BP Young Artist Award 2020 at the National Portrait Gallery in London for his painting “Restless.”
