Exposure in the Singer Museum Laren. 2017
This artwork is inspired by a Vermeer painting of a woman holding a pearl necklace whilst looking in a mirror. I am fascinated by our own Dutch Golden Age period. I studied cultural history and spent a lot of time studying the 17th century, a very rich and interesting period. It is my intention to show my personal facination for that age in this painting.

Oil paint is the perfect medium for this, because the old masters only painted in oil. I used wood to paint on because I like the smooth surface.

1953, IJmuiden, Netherlands. Im an abstract-figurative painter, working in oil and acrylic. Themes: Nature / Flora Artist statement. The works you see here are inspired by nature in a broad sense. In recent years, during the various lockdowns, I, like many others, have had the peace and concentration to look at my environment with new eyes and discover how beautiful nature is. I live nearby a park and a nature reserve and that gave me a lot of inspiration to make a series of canvases that portray the beauty of what I saw there to depict in paint. I hope you enjoy it! I am inspired at the artists whom I greatly admire: Willem de Kooning, Luc Tuymans, Gerhard Richter, Michael Borremans, Jan Mankes, Adrian Ghenie.
