Red and white barrier strip found in the bushes near my studio intertwined with a strip-cut old and damaged David Bowie poster in the same pose as his Changes vol. one album, on a wooden frame. Everything is always changing and evolving in certain directions, it never stops. When it comes to natural evolutionary changes, it’s necessary to adapt to survive, hence securing the survival of your offspring thus your species. Lately we see a lot of changes in quick succession on which is asked to adept to or to act on. We’re on a speedway of change. Some good, some bad, most rapidly passing but simultaneously other urgent changes are reluctant and extremely hard to set in motion. There is this saying; 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’; it suggests it is best to go along with what is presented at the time. Normally I would endorse this saying but when it comes to certain changes on the current artificially intelligent plane, I seriously doubt it. We were not provided enough time or knowledge to make a confident choice. We’re not even sure if we really wanted it… No need, it's already there, it's already everywhere. Who dares to argue with progress, again, define progress? When it comes to A.I. we are unchanged and permanently put and left in the back seat. No one asked or will ask for our permission, they just provide us what we don’t need but what we seem to want in hindsight. If we’re to believe the Silicon Valley high (tech) priest of progress, they are not even sure we will survive the latest developments … but rest assured, they will launch it anyway. In the land of the blind, one-eyed man is king. Good luck to us.

I can experience art on many levels and in many different ways. Then I look for aesthetics and eloquence but also for a particular angle. I make contemporary engaged art. It has a certain urgency. It is reflecting us, people and the zeitgeist. Images speak louder than words and basically appeal very directly to our feelings. My images are something of a mix between activism and philosophy, they want to engage in dialogue.” I am born in Hoorn (NH) (1970) and have been working as a visual artist since 1994. My studio is located at the Rieteweg 10 in Zwolle. I am a multidisciplinary artist. My autonomous work includes painting, collage, installation, digital art, photo manipulation, video art and 3d. I also work on commission and on a project basis. Typical for my autonomous work is the key role for man in its shape and behaviour. It is often a reflection of current social themes, but also mundane and personal issues are important sources of inspiration. Through small interventions, repetitions, inversions, or breaking surfaces with architectural forms, a new image is created in a somewhat familiar image. Although my work can be seen as aesthetic, it often conceals certain uneasiness, abrasive aesthetics. This duality or ambiguity is also a recurring theme. Do you see what you see? The resulting images are often on the cutting edge of fiction, realism, graphic and plastic. Contemporary (sur)realist?- My work cannot be placed in a tradition or movement. There are certainly surrealistic elements in my work and occasionally some abstraction, but in terms of style I draw from (contemporary) realism. Until now, I have been able to express myself best in the figurative, although I do not rule out anything for the future. As far as I am concerned, art is fluid and and artist never stop evolving. I do not wish to limit myself, neither to a medium, nor to autonomous art. I see myself much more as a conduit of concepts and ideas. Often my ideas are interspersed with philosophical questions and/or social themes that occupy me. I therefore sometimes set myself the task of casting these in project form, if only within the limitations of visual art. This has resulted in a number of projects varying from social to future-oriented.
