Mijn verhaal...
Many have helped me on my path and I will thank a few.
First I will mention Lex Wechgelaar. He gave me insight in the conceptual arts. That was in the 80s during my time at the Vrije Academie, also called Psychopolis, in the Hague. It was more of an asylum than a regular art academy and that suited me because I was mentally unbalanced at that time. I also mention: Rudie Rooijackers and Philip Peters.
Someone I may not forget is Shihan Té, an American master in the ancient water ways of self-defense. I met him during his European tour in the 90s. He was or is an extraordinary teacher; he taught me how to defend myself mentally and physically. His lessons were nothing less than phenomenal. I owe him eternal gratitude.
At last I'll thank The Capelse art circle. From the very start they recognized my qualities but they let me figuered it out by myself. For that attitude I am grateful.

This site wil have many micro updates for some time. For the duch part the process will be incremental. The international, english, department is now completely cleared out to make room for my art work "nearly black" It was inspired by the works of the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich. And you might think I has such a deep, deep…, profound meaning that it is truly mind-boggling. But it is what it is: Just a image of a black square that fits most modern monitors. © all rights reserved WHAM.

Below are two of my works. "gezicht op Rotterdam" made in 2019, the original photo is only slightly edited and also "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.
