It represents a clean, zen-like environment. A limited colour palate contributes to the feeling of openness and calm. We can all have cleaner, clearer environments and outside spaces, that contribute to the well-being of the community, when we all contribute to it.

"Silenzi Notturni"( Nighttime Silences in Italian ) is a an emotional journey thru the stillness and colours of a night stroll in my home city. it evokes a sense of calm and mystery. Displayed on a large canvas, the piece features a blend of deep blues and blacks, with hints of pink, green and yellow creating a striking contrast. The colors swirl and blend together in a mesmerizing dance, resembling the night sky enveloped in darkness. The composition consists of fluid, organic shapes that seem to float across the canvas, suggesting a dreamlike state or a journey through the night. I used a combination of bold brushstrokes and delicate textures to create a sense of movement and depth, inviting the viewer to explore the layers of the artwork.

Apollo Belvedere is a timeless masterpiece that inspires for an artist to seek perfection and beauty through ancient art. Finding new connections and meanings to what has been and what can be created. Through colorful spectrum of dripping spraypaint and fade form of painting i found connection to the timeless beauty of the Apollo Belvedere, and to the boundless creativity of the human spirit. As an artist we see all things through our own spectrum, even the great masterpieces.

Apollo’s Spectrum

This work from my antique-looking series impresses with its very special shape. The gold and red push themselves into the classic shell and are completely wrapped around it.

"Artist" The work best explains the state of consciousness of the artist while creating. There is neither time nor place, only infinity and perfect peace. This artwork was included in a book of famous contemporary artists, and I was awarded the Botticelli Award for Excellence in Art in 2023.

"Artist"

Portrait abstract painting is a unique form of art that blends elements of portraiture and abstract expressionism. Unlike traditional portraiture that aims to capture a realistic likeness of the subject, abstract portraiture focuses on conveying emotions, thoughts, or the essence of the subject through abstract forms, colors, and techniques. The emphasis is on expressing the subject's personality, mood, or story through abstract visual elements rather than through a detailed representation. This style of painting allows for more interpretive and subjective representations, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a deeper emotional and imaginative level. It's a fusion of the recognizable features of a portrait and the expressive freedom of abstract art, resulting in a captivating and often thought-provoking visual experience.

When you grow up and your environment is the streets, it doesn’t matter the city, country or the continent you’re in, the absurdity of life is always present with you. Working with street photography is like taking stills of the movie of life. In the reality of life, we create the fiction of images. Each one telling its own story. Sometimes, this moments cannot be explained with words, but a photo can tell a million stories.

The Absurdity of Life

As someone who is highly influenced by Street and Urban art I like to experiment with different materials without thinking too much about the end result. “Chapelle” is a work inspired by my own dog back in the Netherlands. Not because I meant for this but because this is what I saw once finished. Chapelle is made with Acrylic paints, Oil pastels and spray paints. As part of a 3 way series, this is the one I connected with the most.

In the not-so-distant future, “Neural Dystopia” portrays a city that pulses under the veil of night, illuminated only by the fluorescent lights of advertisements and the bright trail of UFOs that cut through the starry sky. In this world, the line between the human and the technological has been blurred and beings from other galaxies subtly mix among the urban inhabitants, now as common as the drones that fly overhead.

I love Venice but not the heat. The picture represents the extreme dehydration I felt this particular time I was there and the shops were closed ie no water.   
The composition was made in the hope of portraying the need for water open windows and crowds speaking every language under the sun at top of their voices. 
I much prefer May,  cooler and less frenetic and noisy.
