Kik Zeiler (1948)

Kick Seiler was already involved with Mokum gallery before he started painting. He lived on the top floor above the gallery. When Duque took an afternoon off, Kick would sometimes sit in the gallery, surrounded by the art that so fascinated him. He liked the atmosphere, but what impressed him most was the intensity of the art. Duque inspired him and gave Kiku his first chance. It was not surprising to him that after some time his work began to hang on the walls of Mokum. Kik has been selling well since its premiere. After that, he received many commissions for portrait painting, which is a genre of painting, and mastered it brilliantly. But Kick deals with more than just portraits. He considers it his job to paint the whole world. He can also regularly admire his still life paintings, parts of cities, and genre paintings depicting multiple figures in specific settings.
