In this episode of Geldzaken, Nienke and Azza talk with self-taught artist David Christiaan. David shares how he rediscovered his calling as an artist during a journey through Australia, and how faith, philosophy, and life lessons lie at the heart of his work. We dive into the creation of his latest collection, Dunamis — a series of oil paintings about gold, potential, and its metaphysical meaning — and explore why he uses paint to symbolically “create” gold. David speaks candidly about the life of an artist, creativity, entrepreneurship, failure, perseverance, and the personal quests that have shaped his career. He also reveals how one of his artworks sold for €38,000, why attention equals power, and how he finds inspiration in spirituality, perception, and everyday experiences. To top it off, David launches a special initiative: a painting worth €10,000 has been hidden somewhere in Amsterdam, and the first person to recognize its location gets to take it home for free — the ultimate treasure hunt.
