History.

In my youth I did not get to know art. In high school I developed a talent for working with color and shape. At the end of my adolescence, I destroyed my work. Desperate for not understanding my talent, I turned away from art.

After a  verylong road I started again.

Almost everyone thinks the female body is beautiful. Nude is often used sensually, provocatively.

My work shows that nude can be art, stripped of all sexual interpretations. I try to reinforce that with self-made backgrounds. I try to convey a message in my work by discovering the viewer for himself.

 After years of experimenting, I found my signature. The nude as a canvas, starts for a new creation.

I find inspiration in Naive art, Expressionism and Magic Realism.

Collaboration with models often takes several years. I prefer to work with dancers, gymnasts and acrobats, in recent years only naked.

I work very intuitively, I usually know the postures I want to capture. Only behind my PC / Photoshop does the creation take place. Usually a (slight) deformation of the posture first. Then looking for the color combinations. And finally creating a background.

This does not always work immediately, multiple edits are discarded.

I like to make backgrounds with different brushes. I also make extensive use of my archive. Coincidentally (???) I started photographing special backgrounds such as walls, murals, objects at an early age.

People are often asked how much time it takes to make a work. I don't know exactly. Do I have to include the photoshoot and the preliminary interview in terms of time? Sometimes I use an object several times as a background, each time edited in a different way.

There are many factual preliminary studies on Instagram. The experiments that led to the final result.

Exhibitions and art fairs:

Affordable Art Amsterdam, Brussels, Art Basel, London, Frankfurt and almost all Hilton hotels in Europe and Beijing, small museum Italy, participant atelier route Huizen.
