In this painting I have tried to place the Greek mythological story of Galatea in our time. Galatea is the name of a female sculpture that came to life because the sculptor - who had made the sculpture - fell in love with his self-made sculpture. A God gave life to this sculpture and she was given the name Galatea. You can also place this story in our time. Robots are being made that can move and talk like humans. We are in the process of breathing life into inanimate objects, something we have been doing throughout human history; from Egyptian antiquity with sculptures that could move, stories of the Greeks or Automatons that were made in the 17th century. That is why a robot is trying to pick a flower while sitting next to a Greek sculpture. How long will it take for this robot to enjoy the beauty of a sculpture or the beauty of nature on its own?

The passion for painting has been in my family for 2 generations. Some say that painting is my talent. But I don't believe in that. A good painting is building knowledge and a lot of work. I discovered painting when I was 18 - just finished high school and looking for a future. The possibility of taking an art course never occurred to me. Because I had better go to work. At the supermarket, the confectioner, the catering industry and several years in a hotel in the Swiss Alps. In retrospect I am happy with the diversity of the experiences. Now I'm even happier that I went to study art afterwards because art has always been a force of motivation in my life. By taking courses in sculpture, photography, modeling clay, art history after work and by learning to paint when I had time to spare in the evening or weekend. I followed my training as an autonomous artist at the Hogeschool der Kunsten in Utrecht (HKU). I also trained as a visual teacher. Since 2016 I have been working as an art teacher a few days a week. And of course the rest of the time is spent on painting, drawing and sculpting. Im doing that in a traditional sense but also digital. Both influence each other. My great sources of inspiration in terms of artists are old masters from long ago but also well-known artists of today such as: Ian Francis, Jonas Wood, Peter Doig, Jeff Wall, Andreas Gursky, Tjebbe Beekmans and Beeple.
