ABOUT THE ARTIST

My oil paintings are not a registration of the reality, but impressions. Non-existent landscapes, which you can encounter everywhere in the Netherlands. Starting point is the horizon, around which I create my own image; spacious and simple. Searching for the atmosphere of marshy lands, reflective water and Dutch skies. The strength of my work lies in finding simple solutions, combined with a loose brushstroke. I graduated from the Ruudt Wackers Art Academy in Amsterdam, painting & drawing. Initially I worked a lot on location, plein air in the open fields of Noord-Holland. Nowadays you can find me daily in my studio in Westknollendam, making paintings from the memory.

ARTWORK STORY

An ordinary day in the wetlands. As the sun sets, the clouds turn orange. Surreal, yet real. Painted with loose brushstrokes. My paintings are not a registration of the actual landscape, but impressions. I create my own landscapes in a simple way. Searching for the Dutch atmosphere and wide views, with reflecting clouds on the water and muddy fields. All works are original oil paintings, framed and ready to hang.
