I was born in 1959 and have been a graphic designer for all of my professional life. I started painting only 2 years ago, and consider myself a debutant. So many things to learn! What you see on my page are some exemples of the exercises I have been doing these last months (in 2015). I paint with acrylics because they are so easy to work with and pretty cheap also. I have done bigger panels on wood to start of with, but these days I work a lot on paper because it's easier to store. My main concern for the moment is to learn to paint, move paint across the surface, obtain a 'painterly' result (which I like). I try to move towards a more personal approach of painting and making images gradually. I adore the work of painters like Jenny Saville, Nick Lepard, Piet Peere, and many others.
