ABOUT THE ARTWORK

For this work I was inspired by the fact that sometimes it is hard to know whether we are the spectators or the ones being watched. I like to work on wood instead of canvas because it gives me more freedom to put on different layers and sanding in between them without damaging the surface.

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.
