From 2018 I started with digital body paint and digital edit. A mix of working with brushes combined with (parts of) other own images. In Photoshop there are countless possibilities to refine your work, for example with blending.
All the women I work with love the results of their digitally painted bodies.
This work was inspired by the story of a woman I worked with.
Her story put mu back in my childhood, coloring within the lines, sticking to rules.
She came from a family that lived on the basis of the Bible. Dancing was forbidden and sinful. Just let dancing be her passion. From the age of 3 she wanted to take dance lessons, which was forbidden. From the age of 6 she went secretly, no matter how young she was. She knew, this is the life I want to live. At the age of 10 she fled to an aunt who lovingly took her in. There she could live out her passion and yes, eventually she became a (naked) model, dancer in many musicals.
Her family still doesn't want to know her, because she lives in sin.

History.
In my youth I did not get to know art. In high school I developed a talent for working with color and shape. At the end of my adolescence, I destroyed my work. Desperate for not understanding my talent, I turned away from art.
After a verylong road I started again.
Almost everyone thinks the female body is beautiful. Nude is often used sensually, provocatively.
My work shows that nude can be art, stripped of all sexual interpretations. I try to reinforce that with self-made backgrounds. I try to convey a message in my work by discovering the viewer for himself.
After years of experimenting, I found my signature. The nude as a canvas, starts for a new creation.
I find inspiration in Naive art, Expressionism and Magic Realism.
Collaboration with models often takes several years. I prefer to work with dancers, gymnasts and acrobats, in recent years only naked.
I work very intuitively, I usually know the postures I want to capture. Only behind my PC / Photoshop does the creation take place. Usually a (slight) deformation of the posture first. Then looking for the color combinations. And finally creating a background.
This does not always work immediately, multiple edits are discarded.
I like to make backgrounds with different brushes. I also make extensive use of my archive. Coincidentally (???) I started photographing special backgrounds such as walls, murals, objects at an early age.
People are often asked how much time it takes to make a work. I don't know exactly. Do I have to include the photoshoot and the preliminary interview in terms of time? Sometimes I use an object several times as a background, each time edited in a different way.
There are many factual preliminary studies on Instagram. The experiments that led to the final result.
