About The Artist

Professional Education Arts and Culture: Erasmus University Rotterdam The Netherlands: Arts and Culture management (2009). Leiden Art Center: masterclasses painting(2003 – 2008). For my further professionalization, I participated in Dutch art study competitions for the artists' magazine the 'Palet'/'Atelier'. In this painting competition I won several prizes with my paintings. Overview of my artists/art activities: Member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists in Amsterdam. Style description: I paint in an active, direct and colorful abstract / minimal style. My choice of materials is mainly acrylic paint and oil paint on paper and canvas. My objective is to continue to paint abstract landscapes into a Minimal Art version, in which colors and shapes predominate. I am inspired by artists such as Piet Mondrian, Joseph Albers, Victor Vasarely, Robert Delaunay and Shirley Jaffe. Works of art: In the period 2020/2023 I started painting in a more abstract and minimalistic way, resulting in a number of multi-panels, such as triptychs and with a focus on abstraction, shapes and use of color. In the period 2017/2019 I executed the theme of landscape in several watercolors and then painted on the canvas with acrylic paint. In 2018 I started doing further theme research. Then I started to capture the themes, the "Hearing", the "Spheres", the "Trinity", the "Sails" on canvas. These triptychs are in a larger format on canvas. In a form study (2015/2016) I have, among other things, executed and elaborated the Trapezium shape in various ways, such as in drawings and paintings, with acrylic paint on paper and canvas.
