Cape Town seems to be a popular city. The image engraved into my retina however, is that of the impressive amount of beggars and homeless in the streets. I was stumbling over them, and they over each other. Many of them tried to squeeze the tourists, for instance by offering protection for their parked cars. There was a hot and sometimes violent competition between those guys. The man you see in this painting was one or those parking guides and he sure saved us form trouble by one of his colleagues. I assume he is dead by now, because of drugs, AIDS or streetlife. Whatever happened to him, i wish him well. He remains for always in my heart

Painting is my passion, as are people and the various cultures that colour their lives. Injustice and abuse move me to the marrow. I used to be a victim of my compassion. How i love to watch how people survive struggles and in the process ignite their deeply hidden potential! You can see all my strong emotions in the faces and figures on my canvases. Recently there has been a shift though. From suffering to surrender, from victim to victory. The new world is opening its creases to eager eyes. I witness how a new reality unfolds, brush and spray can at hand
