Over mijn werk
2025
Explore and beyond
For me, art and travel are intertwined and are not separate. I am on the road a lot, often with just my backpack and a vague destination. Furthermore, i let myself be surprised. For me that is the only possible way to achieve authentic experiences.
This is the same in my visual work, where i start with an idea and a sketch. But there i also like to walk towards the adventure. Moments can not be directed and i like to capture those that stand out for me. I do this in the style that suits me the most, which is often abstract expressionism. A fast, direct style that equals the fleetingness and poignancy of such a moment.
In other work, sometimes on the street and walls, i concentrate specifically on the lion. A powerful, royal animal that at the same time radiates independance for me, but is sensitive and alert to the environment. It is also my zodiac sign. So the image of this brave and proud animal often plays a leading role in my work.
