'The colt of Wladimir de Vries' is a painting of the beautiful bronzestatue of the sculptor Wladimir de Vries which is standing in front of the Roman Catholic church 'Sint Jozefkerk'. When I bike through the city of Groningen I always stop to look at this amazing statue. It is so delicately made and has such a proudness about itself that I just had to make a painting of it. While I was making this painting there was an action about the trees at the radesingel. Protesters put scarfs around the trees as a means to give attention to the fact that the government wanted to cut the trees. That is why there is a red scarf around the tree you see in the painting. I used oilpaint because it makes the best colours. I also feel that oilpaint has more dept and can give more meaning and feeling to a painting. Because it is a material that dries slowly and you can work longer with it while it is still wet, I feel that it can also hold emotions. When I create a painting my intention is that it brings light and good feelings into an atmosphere. This painting is the first of a series of statues in Groningen. I describe the style as impressionism because the light and the colour is very important to me.

I live in Groningen a town in the north of The Netherlands. I get my inspiration from the living nature, people and the world around me. I love especially the variety and complexity of everyting and everyone who lives in the here (where ever that might be) and the now. I work with oilpaint on canvas because oil gives the best colors. Also oil has the capacity to hold the emotions and the atmospere into the paint. So that if you look at the painting for a longer time it really comes to life. I like to paint directly 'en plein air'. For me color is the most important. Before form there is color.
