Style
His style is a mix of impressionism, realism and
fantasy. He plays with perspectives and the laws of classical art. He
works largely from his feelings. His paintings are atmospheric, full of
symbolism and mysticism. Often a spherical shape can be discovered. Humans
plays a minor role in the whole.
Method
His landscapes almost always arise from fantasy. Sketches and photos support Algera when he works from nature. (model, objects)
Palette
He
usually paints with oil paint in a simplified palette, on canvas or
panel, with a flat brush. By working transparently and in layers, he
creates depth. Randolph has been painting for a long time, makes many
paintings and murals; almost everything is sold.
Exhibitions
He
regularly exhibits at home and abroad: in Paris, New York and St.-Louis, Lecce a.o.

Master's degree in Painting certainly has an added value for his
restoration company Art-Decor, which he founded in 1994. He has nearly

Galerie Autrevue
He founded Galerie
Autrevue in 2018, together with his wife Gabriëlle Westra,
who is also a Master of Painting. She focuses on portraiture and has
been nominated several times for the Dutch Portrait Prize. In the
gallery they exhibit their work and that of other talented artists from
Holland and abroad. Realistic and surreal paintings combined with
sculptures.
Decoration work
Assignments from business and private
individuals, both indoors and outdoors, are almost always full of
originality. In consultation with the client I deliver a photo
presentation of the desired idea. This can be a wall painting, a trompe
l'oeil, a wood- or marble imitation, a stencil technique, etc. Total
projects can go from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall, including
lighting. You will find our decorative work in the catering industry, in
shops, offices, beauty centers and sports complexes etc.

is a teacher of murals at the Classical Academy. He regularly gives lectures.
His work can be seen at the UMCG, in the Museum Church in Assen and in
