About The Artwork

Into The Field Of Joy Hereby I present no. 6 from the Helden/Heroes series, 'Into The Field Of Joy'. Limited (1/1) signed digital art print on canvas 120/80 cm. Fields Of Joy' was the 3th (hit) single by Lenny Kravitz debut album ‘Mama Said’ 1991. I was 21 years old and in de midst of a turbulent era of my life. I was on a revel a lot and worked (or had worked) @ discothèque X Ray and Cafe de Singel (Zwolle). My dreamed career as graphic designer seemed out of reach. An alternative career in the catering industry seemed the way for me at that present moment. Driven by a mixture of youthful rashness and rebelliousness made me embrace this opportunity, a perfect combination of making fun and earning money. In the end it had a less fortunate outcome than hoped for. It took me al lot of energy to bend this path into something that would made me truly happy, artistic craftsmanship. This period for me is larded with the sound of Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz, a beautiful androgynies mix of Jimy Hendrix and Curtis Mayfield. A ultra cool hippie and a rock ’n roll animal. Spreading a message of love, peace and happiness, be it a little rugged on the edges. At the end of the nineties’ I made a diptych called ‘Into The Field Of Joy’ named after Lenny Kravitz’s song. This diptych for me represented optimism and a start of something new. Both carriers wise as private everything changed. I had just obtained my firsts atelier at De Oude Ambachtsschool (Mimosastraat 1) and felt like a phoenix from the flames in the company of all these colorful people that worked and lived at the Mimosa. It boosted my self-confidence, my faith in my creativity and my future. From here on it would only go up and I never left this track again. Into The Field Of Joy, for me, marked an era and a promise to myself. In the mean while, zooming in on Kravitz, he made many hits and albums. He always stayed faithful to his unique sound. Recently I bought two of his latest albums; ‘Black & White America’ & ‘Raise Vibration’ and they proofed it to be as urgent and contemporary as his early works were. When you’re an artist and able to produce music of a continue quality for decades, your a great one in my perspective. Oh, and by the way, worth mentioning it, in my sequence this is the first artist that’s still alive (and kicking), Len the Man!

I can experience art on many levels and in many different ways. Then I look for aesthetics and eloquence but also for a particular angle. I make contemporary engaged art. It has a certain urgency. It is reflecting us, people and the zeitgeist. Images speak louder than words and basically appeal very directly to our feelings. My images are something of a mix between activism and philosophy, they want to engage in dialogue.” I am born in Hoorn (NH) (1970) and have been working as a visual artist since 1994. My studio is located at the Rieteweg 10 in Zwolle. I am a multidisciplinary artist. My autonomous work includes painting, collage, installation, digital art, photo manipulation, video art and 3d. I also work on commission and on a project basis. Typical for my autonomous work is the key role for man in its shape and behaviour. It is often a reflection of current social themes, but also mundane and personal issues are important sources of inspiration. Through small interventions, repetitions, inversions, or breaking surfaces with architectural forms, a new image is created in a somewhat familiar image. Although my work can be seen as aesthetic, it often conceals certain uneasiness, abrasive aesthetics. This duality or ambiguity is also a recurring theme. Do you see what you see? The resulting images are often on the cutting edge of fiction, realism, graphic and plastic. Contemporary (sur)realist?- My work cannot be placed in a tradition or movement. There are certainly surrealistic elements in my work and occasionally some abstraction, but in terms of style I draw from (contemporary) realism. Until now, I have been able to express myself best in the figurative, although I do not rule out anything for the future. As far as I am concerned, art is fluid and and artist never stop evolving. I do not wish to limit myself, neither to a medium, nor to autonomous art. I see myself much more as a conduit of concepts and ideas. Often my ideas are interspersed with philosophical questions and/or social themes that occupy me. I therefore sometimes set myself the task of casting these in project form, if only within the limitations of visual art. This has resulted in a number of projects varying from social to future-oriented.
