At the same time, he plays music in different groups.Along the way, he met Mathilde den Hollander (painter), Marc Emeric (painter and ceramist), and Frans Krajberg (painter and sculptor). These decisive encounters change his life. In 2004, he decides to devote his entire time to painting. For more information:. '' In my studio, I take a canvas, the materials, colours, water and solvents, a stool. I sit and I look, nothing... nothing happens... I persist, I empty my mind, I try to reach this famous state of creation so dear to Brancusi, still nothing... So, I wait. And suddenly something cuts through me, I try to seize it, it goes quickly, too quickly and it escapes.A few strokes on the canvas. Back to my stool. The light is fading.Tomorrow is another day.''
