1963 Drawing by Joannes Pandellis – Aruban Country House Reproduction, Vintage

This striking reproduction of a hand-signed drawing by the renowned artist Joannes Pandellis (1896-1965) is a tribute to the Dutch Caribbean's rich artistic heritage. Originally created in 1963, the artwork reflects the cultural and artistic evolution of the Caribbean, particularly Aruba and the Antilles, during the mid-20th century.
Pandellis, a Greek artist who settled in Curaçao in 1929 after spending time in Suriname, was one of the regions earliest and most influential art educators. His work draws on the traditional European academic style, which influenced Curaçao's early art scene, while also embracing the vibrant energy and diverse cultural landscape of the Caribbean.

While this piece is a reproduction, it still celebrates the vision and technique of a pioneering artist, embodying the spirit of a historical era when the former Dutch colonies were establishing their own voice in the art world.
