I grew up in a multi-faceted environment in Suriname before moving to Europe in my teens and also lived in the Netherlands, Spain and lastly in Germany until April 2016.

I got inspired to evoke intrinsically three-dimensional compositions where I delve deep into archetypal values everyone understands on a subtle level of awareness without having to be explained what they are. In the expression through inner worlds of color I move with abstract realms, preferably unhindered by intellectual scrutiny. My works attempt to allow archetypal values to become accessible, taking the viewer on a journey all his own. My favourite techniques are acrylic and encaustic painting.

Although I see myself as a self-taught painter, I could benefit from the workshops I followed between 1990 and today, having had basic knowledge in acrylic painting techniques in the nineteeneighties in Germany.
