Oil on canvas painting. Based on a picture I found on the net. To me this raises the question of how far we can go in controlling each other. CCTV's on the street is one aspect. But this 'anxiously looking' at each other plays in so many other situations. What do we need to trust each other ? How much freedom do we allow the other - and what do we do with our freedom ?

Apart from some months at the Antwerp academy, I have no formal training in art or painting. In my earlier career I worked as a strategist in marketing communications and advertising. Even up to today I work as an independent brand strategy consultant. But more and more this is being taken over by this other passion of mine : oil painting. Since a couple of years now I got into a relatively stable routine of exploring the ins and outs of painting on canvas. I love the lively plasticity of oil paint. With each brushstroke I push and pull the colors – almost like sculpting – into shapes with expression. In contrast to oil, I hate acrylic, which I find a ‘dead material’. I focus on representational subjects. Sources of inspiration come from different sides. I guess most of my work tries to portray real people and their emotions. It can be portraits of people I know or scenes from news items – such as the recent refugee crisis in Syria. I start from photos that I have taken myself of the subject, or pictures that I find on news sites. The biggest challenge is ‘seeing’ and translating the essence and the details into a new speaking and striking image. My recent body of work deals with interpersonal relations. I can be deeply moved by how adults (parents ?) relate to (their ?) kids and vice versa. Growing up is a complex process. Happiness and sorrow, anger and angst, love and rebellion - there are enough colors in life to be inspired by in my paintings.
