ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The inspiration for my paintings comes from old wallpaper patterns, ornamental designs found on buildings, old gates and tiles. My grandfather was a technical director and engineer and worked for a large wallpaper factory when I was young. From old wallpaper rolls that were taken out of production he made lamps. I was always fascinated by these rolls with their raised pattern. Other family members too worked in the wallpaper industry and used to provide me with beautiful sampler books. The old patterns inspire me to make paintings. I make handcut stencils of the areas I like and start making new compositions with them. My love for pattern comes back in all my art.

Since 2011 I have been working as a professional visual artist in my own studio in Scheveningen, The Hague. My preferred material to work on is wood or wallpaper. I make bold strokes on the paper with Chinese ink and acrylic paints. I investigate how my mark making and the existing patterns can melt into my very own authentic paintings. The process of the mark making, the eliminating of parts of the pattern and the letting them resurface again is fascinating to me and the end result should challenge the eyes and the mind. My pieces on wooden boards are also based on ornamental pattern elements and are made in acrylic paint using handcut stencils of parts of patterns. Making art is as essential to me as breathing is. I am very proud that my art is now in private collections in the USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
