Born in an atelier, brought up in nature, and since working and traveling between cities, countries, stories & landscapes. Raised by an artist and a yoga teacher, they showed him the beauty of the world, as well as some discipline. Being a keen photographer since the last three decades, he has also been painting for the last twenty years. One of his main disciplines is the creation of strong visual arts, coming to expression in both fields. He received his training as a photographer at the Academy for Visual Arts (Tilburg, The Netherlands, 1989- 1993), and he is now particularly engaged in the art of a unique fine artphotography, thus compiling an impressive oeuvre. His distinctive and remarkable works depict their classic themes such as land- and cityscapes, vanitas paintings, still life arrangements and even abstract images. Esthetic & surrealism are never far away in his artpieces, appearing and disappearing. Usually working on subjects with models or still life in his Amsterdam based grand studio or travelling in nature, every image is containing a few stories as well as literally a few (oil) pigment layers and sometimes matte layers, a reminiscence with the Dutch, Italian and Spanish classic painters.
