My story...    

I have a soft spot for reflections in water surfaces and these form the main part of this website in the digital art section. I edit the reflections on the computer to show the eternal dance of nature. my vision on art
...................................................

In the conceptual art folder I tell something about my vision of humanity and the world. In short, my life motto is: respect every living being.................

Often it is a matter of finding the right crop and an interesting combination of colours when editing the photos. That's evident in the study folder. This section is especially interesting if you're looking for insight into my creative process.
..............................................................

Earlier work from the 80s and 90s can be seen in the earlier works folder. Here you can clearly see that I took a lot of water photos. But I also used other techniques such as sculptures and paintings.
.................................................................................................

After my studies in Delft, I was a participant in the Vrije Academie, Pschyopolis at the end of the 80s and learned a lot there. Because I realized that I could not make a living from my art so easily, I started as a teacher of information science and had a good career of 35 years. After my retirement, I went public with my art. Something I was only doing for myself in my spare time before.
more about my background.

Below are two of my works. "Impression I and "self-portrait with painting" from 2023.
For the self-portrait I owe gratitude to the Mauritshuis, they took care of the technical side and made it available to anyone who wanted to make a special selfie.
