Recently I am introducing this small cartoon couple to bring a counterbalance in my otherwise more melancholic and introspective work.  I choose two extreme human forms, one elongated and very skinny, the other very small and round to bring some confusion to the viewer, asking them to look beyond the first appearance.The background of my paintings remains the same, different layers of newsprint, sand and acrylics finished with oil glazes, always leaving visible carefully chosen text-layers.
the work ships in a wooden crate and is ready to hang. Avoid hanging it in areas of high humidity and direct sunlight.

I was born in Dendermonde (1959) Belgium. In 2001 I started traveling through Spain and eventually settled in a small mountain village near Ronda, Andalusia, where I currently have my studio. My work is centered around silence and solitude. The ‘wall’ often features as the background of my images, always leaving an opening, inviting the viewer to look beyond their initial impression. I build these walls through different layers of paper, acrylics and oilpaint, hiding carefully chosen textmessages in between. My palette is intentionally restrained; I want to create an atmosphere in my work, and too many bright colors would generate a language that is not useful to me. My current paintings feature either extremely elongated, or minuscule figures in a minimalist environment. Those naked figures are merely symbols of the duality of human nature in its pure essence. The juxtaposition of these opposing, seemingly fragile figures within empty spaces - away from any unnecessary adornments - confirms my statement. ​ ​ My work has been awarded and published internationally and can be found in private, public and corporate collections throughout the world.
