My work is always intuitive and very personal, especially in regards to my political and social consciousness. The story invariable unfolds and reveals itself through the development of any artwork as it progresses. I embrace new ideas and continue to develop these even during a creation of a painting or sculpture . This ensures a freshness that brings my wit and humour to life. My paintings are a reflection of thoughts and colourful stories from the world that surrounds me! I am partially influenced by environmental notions, but also exploring political and economic concepts, which I utilize sometimes in a playful and humorous techniques to project ideas. Simultaneously I accommodate a major influence from the Old Masters to reflect a complex thought process.
I demonstrate to take a risk during my colourful story telling opinions.
I was born in Belgium and studied science ( Industrial Chemistry ) and art in numerous forms and disciplines in Germany then lived in South Africa for a number of years but eventually Australia became my home.
I received a diploma of Graphic and Commercial art in 1994 and have been working full time in the industry since then. I exhibit when ever possible in group or solo shows in Europe and various venues in Australia.
I teach art to kids age 8-14 year olds at the Royal Queensland Art Society plus adults at the University of The Third Age on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia
