Multidisciplinary artist
editIn 1997, at the age of 15, van Barneveld discovered graffiti as a way to escape all the constraints and rules of life as a football player. For more than a decade he combined the daily needs of a professional athlete with the night-time secrets of a graffiti writer. After quitting his professional soccer career in 2010, he exclusively devoted himself to art under pseudonym DOES.[4]
For over a decade DOES travelled to many parts of the world to participate in numerous international projects. It is in his travels that he finds inspiration. Having his roots in Graffiti, DOES is inspired by traditional letterform. The letters D, O, E and S remain the basis of his work.[5] He does not like to set boundaries; he switches styles and finds balance by exploring different art forms and using various media.[6]
"Letterform is clearly his true love. His dedication to innovation and enviable skill causes him to use letters in ways that most of us would never have envisioned. No matter the medium, his dynamic exploration of colour and shape produces explosively expressive pieces." Lara Chan-Baker: CARBON 2013 interview: Does. In: Acclaim Magazine.[7]
As it is his goal in life to leave something tangible behind,[3] DOES has in recent years moved towards a three-dimensional approach, presenting his first sculpture collection BRIQUE in 2018.[8]
DOES is co-founder of the creative collective LoveLetters crew, a collective of ten European writers founded in 2006.
In April 2017 DOES published his first book 'Qui Facit, Creat’: "he who does, creates". The book intends to showcase the evolution of DOES’ style up until 2016.[9] Later that year, in October he published a second book ‘First 20 Years’ to celebrate a 20 year evolution of dedication to style.
In 2019 DOES designed an anniversary shirt for the professional soccer club Fortuna Sittard celebrating its 50th anniversary.[10]
DOES' third book 'Endless Perspectives' was released in 2020 documenting the Endless Perspectives project, aiming to capture graffiti’s transient nature.
Early life and football career
editFrom the age of 9, Van Barneveld trained and played as a professional player for the Dutch club Fortuna Sittard. A promising talent[11] he was selected for the Dutch national youth team under 14[12] and played his first game in the Dutch Eredivisie in 1999 at the age of 17.[13] The club relegated in 2002 and after having suffered a severe knee injury Van Barneveld continued to play for Fortuna in the second-tier Eerste Divisie. Van Barneveld parted with the club in 2007 after a contractual conflict.[14] The final two years of his football career he played for FC Eindhoven before retiring in 2010 after another knee injury. From 2012 to 2015 Van Barneveld was a part-time talent scout for Aston Villa's academy.
