Stroll through neglected neighborhoods, where time has etched stories onto weathered, orphaned walls, cracked cement and pealing paint.
In these textures of decay I see a canvas for my imagination. That evocative mood urges me to create…
I invite you to a creative journey, a continuous exploration through the many depths of my imagination. Here, ideas unfold gradually, shaped by intuition, reference, and material. Each work emerges as a fragment of that search, revealing traces of thought, feeling, and the unseen connections that guide the act of creation.
In 1975, I held my first exhibition at sociëteit Het Park. The response was encouraging, there was strong interest, and many works were sold.
This was more than a success; it was a necessary condition for continuing as an artist in a context without social support systems, where sustaining a practice depended directly on public engagement and sales.
This work belongs to a series that marks the result of my first exploration of transparent sheets and burlap, where two contrasting materials reinforce each other from their unique physicality
With this style, I discovered something that resonate different, a direction that felt naturally aligned with my development.
It was not just a new approach, but one that opened space for growth, inviting me to explore it further with more depth and continuity.
Contemporary art often cannot be understood at first glance, as its meaning lies beyond what is immediately visible.
Understanding the artist’s context and concept provides a crucial entry point into the work. These elements reveal the intentions, references, and questions behind it.
Without this foundation, a viewer may only see surface aesthetics and miss deeper layers. By starting with context and concept, the work opens up, allowing its complexity and meaning to emerge.
This website offers a curated impression of my work, an entry point into the ideas and concepts that shape my practice.
It is not a comprehensive archive, but a distilled cross-section of the themes and explorations that define it.
If something resonates, or sparks a question, you are invited to get in touch.
