Kitchenette Print

I am born in 1945 in the Netherlands and momentarily living in Antwerp, Belgium. I am a contemporary abstract painter who works with acrylic on paper and canvas. Mostly self taught, but i did follow evening classes and tutorials from professional painters. I work intuitive expressionistic , mostly without preconceptions. I was particularly influenced by painters like Picasso, Willem de Kooning, Miro, Karel Appel, Le Corbusier, Alberto Magnelli, Bram van Velde, Richard Diebenkorn, and many others. II take great care of a balanced composition, painterly surface and great use of colors, and rework my paintings until i have the result i was looking for. I see myself as an contemporary painter. Mostly i work without any preconceptions and start from making marks and bringing colors to the canvas and react on what i see happening on the canvas.
