DIG DEEP depicts an ostrich that has buried its head so deeply in the ground that it eventually disappears outside the frame. The bird is unhappy with its situation, but by digging deep, it will free itself. In the background, the text reads: “SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DIG DEEP TO GET BACK TO REAL LIFE”, which reinforces the message of the piece. It emphasizes that sometimes, deep effort and self-reflection are needed to overcome difficult situations and reconnect with reality. The work invites contemplation on the power of perseverance and transformation.

Frank is a contemporary Dutch artist whose work blends urban art, pop art, and neo-expressionism. He focuses on creating art using used and discarded materials, primarily wood. With a playful and humorous approach, Frank explores themes such as sex, the current zeitgeist, and contemporary events. His subjects range from serious issues to absurd improbabilities, including personal experiences from his life.
Though he describes himself as not the best speaker, preferring to maintain a low profile in discussions, Frank is an astute observer of the world around him. He uses these observations as inspiration for his art, prioritizing thought-provoking themes over expressing his own opinions. Central themes in his work include life, freedom, and equality.
Frank's artworks have been exhibited at various shows across the Netherlands, , and the USA. His pieces have been auctioned by Christie’s, and he has participated in notable events such as KunstRai in Amsterdam. Additionally, he held a residency at Sofitel Legend The Grand in Amsterdam.
