About The Artwork

My father was a friendly and kindhearted man. He was wise, guided by logic. He always knew how to make correct and measured choices. He was intelligent; he could analyse and reason about everything. I made the four paintings in the series “Father” as a tribute to my father. Around 1943, during World War Two, he studied at a technical college in Eindhoven, Netherlands. During this time, he was an intern at Nedinsco (optical instruments) and Nefkens (a garage) both in Venlo and Hekkens (ironworks) in Tegelen, where he made technical drawings and reports. I have incorporated parts of these technical drawings and reports in the paintings. The four pieces of art are in possession of his four children. On November 12, 2012, my father died; one day before his 88th birthday.

I do not paint what I see from the visible world, but rather what I feel. It is not a literal depiction of a place, but a feeling of a place. Painting is a process; I rarely paint what I set out to paint. And that is beautiful: a small or large experiment that leads me to a work of art. This process ensures that you can see a diversity in my works. I do not paint a realistic image, but an impression of another world. My inspiration comes from landscapes, skies, the sea, the universe, the big bang, life, death and various shapes, colors and textures. While painting I listen to powerful music and there is a scent of burning incense in the air. Most of my painting are made with oil paint, but lately I have been using acrylic paint as well. I paint on canvas or on wood, working with brushes, hands or whatever is necessary.
