”I would describe my style as warm, a feeling in touch with nature, with a variety of structures and materials. On the one hand the painting gives energy, but it is also calm to surround yourself with. It surprises me each time to notice how in all the paintings everything comes together. In some of my paintings, the structures are inspired by volcanoes. In others by the coral reef. I therefore find it special that I can imitate a coral reef with inspiration and structures from the woods and flower fields, so you can see that everything in this world is connected. I want people to actually feel the softness and beauty of nature through my paintings; with their eyes or even by actually touching the painting. The paintings have that appeal of touching, because of the materials and structures. So I would describe my paintings as abstract, warm and natural. A piece of abstract art, to bring nature into your home.
