It's all about rhythm, rhyme, order, nature and human interaction.

deze 'over & cv' pagina in het Nederlands

In my work, I love to pay attention to the finesse of a rhythm, the order and repetition, with the subtle charge of a glum message. A beautiful packaging, an approachable, manageable image with a serious connotation. That is precisely the intriguing tension. 

A substantive context of many of my recent works is the appropriation of the forest by man, who sees nature only as a tool, an attraction. Representing the degradation of nature and our living environment in an aesthetic way, seen from a distance and sometimes zoomed in to cell level. In my work, it is never only nature, but what you see is always adapted, changed, moulded by man. A poetic field of tension between the two. Layering, in paint and also in meaning. The silence of the landscape, the emotion and the narrative framework of a house in nature. Or the peace and boredom of people, sitting, an in-between moment, waiting on a bench, with the rhythm and structure of trees, slats, tiles. Symbolic additions of ladders, tree top adventure parks, trees with harnesses, chained trees, life lines, tree rings, fingerprints. Narrative poetic additions.

A transdisciplinary artist engaged in various digital and analogue practices.

My palette of possibilities reaches beyond paint: digital techniques and interaction can be used in the artworks as fits. I create paintings, interactive installations and a combination of the two. By removing the old boundaries between design and painting, I notice that I am tapping into a visual reservoir that I benefit from in everything I do. The video's about the making ad that extra insight.
As an artist I like to use painting, graphic arts and digital techniques so that I get inspiration from all kinds of visual cultures as well as from the slowness of paint. My visual language is created in those cross-pollinations.
