Biography
Photo by Eric de Jong
From 2002 on I have painted almost 100 portraits under my Christian name 'Remigius' (Remco Hazenbroek). More than half of those were commisioned portraits. My work has been exhibited in a number of galeries and art fairs and has been published in books, magazines and newspapers (see below). I followed my art lessons at the Vrije Academie in The Hague, am a member of 'STROOM Den Haag' and the 'Nederlandse Associatie van Beeldend Kunstenaars' (NABK).

Teaching at Atelier Brugman, Voorburg
Due to lack of time I temporarily stopped my lessons at atelier Brugman in Voorburg. It’s likely that instead of the weekly lessons I will start workshops in the spring of 2012. If you want to stay informed you can submit to my newsletter.

Television program 'Sterren op het doek' in 2009
In 2009 I was invited to paint the portrait of European Commissioner Neelie Kroes for the dutch television program 'Sterren op het doek'. The program (june 25th 2009) can still be seen on the website 'Uitzending gemist'. Neelie Kroes: 'the painting is a bit too strong for my taste, but I can see it being exhibited in a museum in a 100 years time'. It reminded her of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, two of my favourite artists.
