Dirk Kooren

Dirk works at Paspartoe, in studios for people with exceptional talent and a disability. They receive professional guidance and have access to all kinds of materials. They don’t feel limited in creating their art; it often just bubbles up—it’s in their heads and has to come out! As a result, their work is often captivating, versatile, and very pure. Over the years, each artist has developed their own unique, recognizable style! Paspartoe is a full-fledged art platform for these colorful artists. Paspartoe is part of a healthcare organization.

Dirk really enjoys working in the painting studio. He loves chickens; he first sketches them on canvas and then paints over them. He’s amazing at mixing beautiful colors with paint. Dirk also likes to draw people, cars, and houses with a pencil. Dirk has even won a prize for his chicken design, and his chicken has been engraved in glass.
