Swallows on pole Print

My work begins with being flexible (moving along) and looking for boundaries (to discover new possibilities). By tuning in and connecting, inspiration is created for new ideas. I prefer to work on wooden panels of special dimensions, so that the art can be displayed both indoors and outdoors. A combination of abstraction and realism complete the whole for me. I prefer the palette knife over the brush. I also need freedom to constantly vary the diversity of material, style and subjects. The smallest ideas quickly inspire me to interpret it myself. With my works I want to encourage myself, but especially the spectator to new inspiration. For me, art is about atmosphere, which is why the location where my work eventually ends up is just as important as its creation; "The right art in the right place". Growing up on a farm has laid the foundation for the outdoors for me. I prefer to actually paint outdoors. Sun & wind, mountains & skies quickly ignite the fire in me to get started. That is why I focus more and more on "outdoor art" for veranda or balcony (Verandaschilderijen.nl • Verandakunst.nl.) ”
