Foggy Morning

2024

In creating this piece, I tapped into the serene beauty of an early morning when the world is shrouded in a gentle, enveloping mist.

This minimalist approach allowed me to focus on the essence of the emotion, the quiet contemplation that a foggy morning inspires. Imagine this artwork in your home as a daily reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate the serene start of a new day.

2019

The painting is Inspired by nature. Three individual vertical canvases creating a perspective in depth. The composition is build-up of horizontal layers which changing colour gradually. Green  fields meeting the red fiery sky and melting into a soft pink horizon.                                        A painting with textured finishes and richness in colours  where  you could configure the spacing between the three canvases as you wish.

Doves Diptych

2018

Diptych, combination of photography and paint work, textures and washes on panels of different sizes.

Dusty Red

2018

 A mixture of different material looks: silver shining through, deconstructions, water power washes , drying process, wearing out, tearing and the beautiful colourings thereof.

Feather

2018

I stood in front of this very large canvas after long time waiting for nice and dry weather so I could paint it outside after I realized a long time ago that could not get it into my studio because the staircase is too narrow. Of course it was a very nice day, pleasant to be outside full of light and the freshness of the spring. Because of the size I wanted to keep the colour combination subtle, light and more pastel like. I was more interested in the variety of textures and layers. I had no name in my head just then and then this feather landed on my canvas, on a new freshly painted area. My first reaction was to quickly pull of my gloves which were stuck on my hands…., but then I looked at it from a distance and I thought:  Perfect! That is it!  I continued working on the large painting FEATHER. It has its name and I couldn't think of any better.   
 

French Bluebells

2018

 Beginning of  summer 2018 I took a trip to France and of course after short stay there I came back loaded with inspiration. I still  have plenty visual memories to inspire me for a long time but one of the most unexpected was these quick changing pictures of blue patches on the fields  along the road. They come and go from a certain angle as the road go up and down. Beautiful bluebell flowers, millions of them connecting the sky and the fields and creating this symbiosis of a new dimension were the horizon is melted into the blues and greens.

Moon Light

2018

Not a standard shaped painting. Diptych. Two Half round shaped wooden panels, joined with bolts to create a industrial look.The two parts are a contrast of bright colours and an illusion of a luminous glow. A heavily textured upper panel and a light milky lower panel.The painting is inspired by light. Bright sunny days and nights with a luminescent  bright full moon that inspire extraordinary bright, playful colour combinations.

Nature

2018

 It is the time when the sunflowers are about to open and you driving past beautiful fields along the road and the little poppy flowers are blooming at the edges along the road. You can smell the earthy freshness of a moisturising spring rain.

Shades of blue

2018

  A painting with textured finishes. It has a beautiful flow of colour going from a warm yellow and gold  to an cold azure and turquoise, creating a feeling of the transition of warm air to cool fresh waters. 

Stone work of Gouda

2018

A mix between different materials: photography, acrylic paint and mediums. The photography was transferred to the panel and then combined with heavy paint textures and water treatments. The panel is extra thick and can therefore also remain on a shelf.

Wall 2

2018

A old wall caught my eyes some time ago. I studied the different layers of plaster and stone the colours washed by water and wind. Marks of existence and history.

Water 2

2018

It is more of a stone surface washed several times. Limestone sludge. Moving water left permanent traces.     

Water 3

2018

Water has moving power. It is the physical state of a moving water creating beautiful shapes and transparent layers that amaze me. Here are some warm earthy colours of softened clay. Down to earth, can you smell the wet clay?   

Yellow fields

2018

It was painted on a sunny warm day of the summer 2018. The idea of this colour combination came very spontaneously after several days of heat and bright sun.

Ronda 1

2016

The painting is one of the 3 inspired by visiting Ronda in Spain 2008. The mountaintop city Ronda gave me a huge impression with its powerful setting dramatically above the deep gorge. The gorge El Tajo separates the old and the new town. Amazing and unforgettable views are offered from Puente Nuevo stone bridge spanning the gorge. Diptych, two canvases framed into one long high quality frame. The  two canvases are divided with a aluminium strip which gives delicate shiny dividing accent in the middle of the composition. The frame is mat black on the sides and silver on the front.

Drieluik. Dit werk bestaat uit drie aparte panelen elk in zijn eigen omlijsting. Het werk komt het beste tot zijn eer als de panelen ongeveer 10cm uit elkaar zijn. Zilverblad en textuur in grijs, wit en zachte transparante waterwassen, met delicate lagen en zachte kleuren geven de indruk van vloeiend water. De omlijstingen zijn in een neutrale grijze kleur geschilderd. De nummers van de compositie gaan door op de omlijsting.

Zeven Meren

2009

Dit is een schilderij dat geïnspireerd is door de Rila Meren in Bulgarije. In mijn jeugd en later als volwassene heb ik in deze bergen geklommen en elke keer was ik weer overdonderd door de kristal heldere schoonheid van de natuur. Aan de top van deze bergen, die van 2500m naar 3500m boven zeespiegel liggen, zijn zeven prachtige meren, elk op een ander niveau. Om ze allemaal te zien moet je steeds hoger klimmen.
