Edwin IJpeij — Artist, Inventor & Alchemist of the Forbidden

What was meant to remain unseen now demands to be felt. That’s why I paint it.

Step inside my laboratorio; not a studio, but a sanctuary of transformation.
A crucible of flesh and fire, where oil, egg, and pigment awaken what history tried to silence:
the sensual, sovereign power of women.

I’m Edwin IJpeij — artist, inventor, and former chemist.
Here, I transform shame into strength,
desire into dignity,
and beauty into freedom.

My portraits aren’t decoration; they’re a call to divine presence.
Each painting, a forbidden hymn to the body.
Each photograph, a spell of liberation.

Rooted in the timeless secrets of Van Eyck and Da Vinci,
crafted for what they were forbidden to touch.

This is not safe art.
It is raw.
It is honest.
And once you experience it — there’s no turning back.
