His father was a painter and commercial artist, which meant that drawing and painting were present in his life from an early age. As a self-taught artist, he focused on a career as a painter from the late 1950s onward. In 1965 he gained wider recognition after being noticed in a competition for amateur painters organised by Eva magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZwerver's work is characterised by dreamy, contemplative paintings. Still gardens, labyrinths, and forests form a recurring setting, with Oranjewoud and the Rhijnauwen estate near Utrecht as frequent sources of inspiration. Works by Zwerver can be found in the Centraal Museum (Utrecht) and the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam). He also exhibited at the Rembrandt House and had a major retrospective at Slot Zeist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eViewing \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork can be viewed and collected in Borne, Overijssel.
