The heroes of his childhood play an important role in many Diederik van Apple paintings and Diederik van Apple statues.

Diederik van Apple uses a special technique to give all Diederik van Apple statues and paintings a shiny appearance. The basis for many Diederik van Apple paintings and sculptures is aluminum or gold leaf. The next layer consists of glitter and holograms, giving the extra shiny dimension to the artwork. Then it's the turn for glossy black and vibrant colors. To finish it off, Diederik applies a layer of epoxy. The result is astonishing.
