The Inner Nature paintings are hand-painted originals and limited editions inspired by the works of Matisse, which are full of beautiful patterns. The plants and flowers represent abundance, innocence and the organic world, as well as growth and hope for the future. A couple of still lives are 'forces of nature', they symbolise good virtues or good characteristics a person can have. The Art Deco inspired patterns emphasise the 'forces of nature' themes, they have a great graphic quality and are self-designed.

In the New Illusions series I have used The Golden Ratio to create an abstract, geometric and harmonious order. The oversized New Illusions paintings where chosen by King Willem-Alexander as finalists for the Royal Awards for Modern Painting in the Netherlands, and have been exhibited in the Royal Palace Amsterdam. In my abstract paintings and objects I have been inspired by the symbolic and abstract art of Kandinsky as well as the art of Piet Mondriaan and De Stijl.
