Expressivity and symbolism characterize my work.
Expression is the main motive in my work, not only visually but also how I paint on canvas. I try to reflect the daily reality through what I see and experience. Not as a daily mirror but as a kind of "recycling" from a new and different perspective and experiences. That is why it is difficult for me as a painter to hold one theme for a long period. Through my travels and looking at people and nature I get inspired. I am in Colombia regularly and every time I am fascinated by the nature and culture of my country. My drawing book always goes with me in the suitcase and when I return to the Netherlands I use it to work out what I have drawn on canvas
