Trough art,
I try to offer something positive in the vast coldness of the world. The
purpose of humanity isn’t creating war, hatred or destruction. I search for the
kindness and beauty of men. I find these qualities in the eyes, as a reflection
of the soul, and in the mouth, expressing emotion and sentiment. The characters
I paint are lovely and kind, with eyes in close-up and sensual mouths. They
represent a positive view in this hard and cruel world.
I always
paint portraits, using oils and different kinds of material, in order to give
the painting a certain 3-dimentional aspect. I give my figures the largest
possible expression, with eyes in close-up. Colourfully background formations
surround a typical face, building or body. In this way a lot of open space is
created to reveal an own idea or opinion in the entire work.
I make oil
paintings, paintings on silk and ceramics. Going to several art schools, I
receive assignments of various artists. Being leader of the art school “ de
blinde muur”, even today I still remain an active painter.
I held
exhibitions of my work in several galleries in Belgium.
International
I exposed in art-fairs in Monaco, Nice, Brussels, Mulhouse, Madrid, Luxemburg, Lausanne, Munchen, Milan, Frankfurt with the galleries Monteoliveto,
Gaudi, Unique.
In
international galleries: Amsterdam, Liege, Marbella, Verviers, Mons, Friesland, Santiago de Cuba, Gdansk in Polen, Paris, London. I have got
the price of NAFA 2004 in Brasil.
