I find a great source of inspiration in the Old Dutch Masters, in my case particularly Gerard van Honthorst (1592 - 1656). The way in which he managed to capture everyday scenes, touches me as it were. By now I have produced a relatively large number of paintings based on Gerard's work. Not with the aim of creating an exact copy, but rather to reproduce the atmosphere in my own style.

It all started with a first painting, called ‘chained’. Almost before the paint dried, it was sold. Inspired by this joyful event I started to paint a series of high heeled woman.

I have been painting for about thirty years now. From every canvas I have made, I have learned. My brushes become more and more an extension of my fingers. Fortunately, I never stop learning and I continue to passionately capture images, ideas and fantasies in oil paint. This group contains a number of examples of my development until now.
