Joyful Cut Painting

My vision; Everyday I am still puzzled and amazed when I see different shapes and colors mixing to yet another new creation. Every-time again and again perspectives open and more questions appear. I struggle everyday, every-time, and each time my ideas come out differently, surprisingly. The combination of lines, colors, space, materials and so much more give a different interaction and different result again and again. Creating can be frustrating, but at the very end the results are satisfying. My life in a few words; I received my master of arts in 1989. From 1984 until 1988 I traveled around the world. In 1984-1986 I also got several stipendi. I lived for a period of time in N.Y. and Naples,Italy. In 1977 I won the art price of Gouda. Meanwhile I also made a number of video presentations for several big festivals. I live and work in Leiden, The Netherlands, together with my wife and 2 children. see on the other pages my list of exhibitions.
