Silhouet
With the paintings in my Silhouette series, my painting style is less realistic and more abstract. It is all about simplicity and contrast. The shape is recognisable without me detailing it.
This stimulates my, but hopefully also your imagination. The loose use of paint and the tight silhouette reinforce each other. Much more can be found in a silhouette, it is like looking at clouds: It's in the eye of the beholder.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a humanistic philosophy from South Africa, a wisdom often cited by Nelson Mandela, freely translated it means, "I am because WE are and that we are all connected.
For this series, I went on a virtual journey with my brushes. The focus is on so many wonderful, different people living together in one world.
In the ‘I’ world we live in now, I think it is important to keep seeing how beautiful ‘WE’ are.

Birds
In my new series: 'birds with symbolism', the third flutterer is ready to fly. It is extraordinary to discover how each bird species, from the large eagle to the small hummingbird, is attributed unique characteristics and fascinating to capture the birds on canvas.

TRANSIENCE
Life flies by us quickly. We more often look ahead to what is to come than enjoy what is now. My series ROSE ON is about that. All the paintings in this collection share the multifaceted colors of rust. Rust represents the aging processes, which contrary to what people often think, can be very beautiful. Each painting in this series contains a combination of the elements of impermanence and beauty.

Open and exposed
With this series of paintings, I am responding to the major social changes we have faced. Many of our habits and certainties have disappeared because of the 'virus' and that feels 'exposed' to me. But at the same time, this also leaves us 'open' again to new paths, possibilities and challenges....
PAPERART
Original paintings are a wonderful addition to any interior. They bring a unique atmosphere, showcase craftsmanship, and add a personal and exclusive element to a room. Yet an original painting is not feasible for everyone, mainly because of the cost and sometimes limited availability.
Prints of all my paintings are available in A4 size: (21 cm by 29.7 cm) and poster size: (72 cm by 102 cm). The poster size comes with certificate and numbering.
