Damse Vaart (2007) Tablo Guy Gruwier tarafından

Since I was a child, I've been drawing and painting . When my parents and tutors at elementary school remarked this, they stimulated my gift and I went to several art schools. First at Ypres, the Municipal Academy, later at Antwerp (Brasschaat, municipal Academy) and later at Wetteren, the municpal academy (engraving and etching finalist courses). Despite my love for pure drawing and etching, I fell for watercolour and this has kept me alive for the past 20 years ! Watercolour paint is very fluïd and so difficult to controll that I took the challenge to specialize in this wonderfull medium. The results of this can be seen in the pictures.
I attended different international courses in watercolour, all organized by "Internationale aquarel workshops". Big names like Robert A.Wade, Greg Allen, Gerald Brommer, Alvaro Castagnet and Brian Ateyo have definitely changed my look at watercolour.
In the mean time, I continue specializing and I am teaching and guiding other students as well; mostly in Belgium but also in Australia (NSW, Grafton, Spring Arts Festival).
My work could be described as colour- and contrast full, contemporary realistic with a flair of impressionism and very balanced in composition.
My next challenges ? To pursuit more the "atmosphere" of the landscape and expression or emotion on the faces (portrait painting). So, follow my evolution and tell me whether I succeed......
