I have a soft spot for reflections in water surfaces and these form the main part of this website in the digital art section. ................... In the conceptual art folder I tell something about my vision of humanity and the world. In short, my life motto is: show respect................. Often it is a matter of finding the right crop and an interesting combination of colours. 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 early on. But I also used other techniques such as sculptures and paintings. ................................................................................................. After my studies in Delft, I was a participant at the Vrije Academie, Pschyopolis and there I experimented a lot. My thanks go to my conceptual art teacher, Lex Wechgelaar. Realizing that I was not yet ready, I chose a different path. For 35 years, I enjoyed a rewarding career as a lecturer in information science. In my spare time, I kept the spark alive. Now, 40 years later, I am an artist - a digital artist; and my motto is "Living in beauty is a choice"

At the right is the work "Distorted reality I" and the work below is "Impression I"
