This work is HQ digital printed , glued on dibond and finished with a protecting acryllic layer. Equipped with a sturdy hanging frame. From 2000 I started with 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.

Many of my works are inspired by stories about women, models I worked with.
Due to her cultural background, the dancer was not allowed to work as a dancer. At least, her family and social environment disapproved.
She followed her heart, her passion. She was disowned by her family.

Yes, she is happy with her life, but the pain of the breakup remains. In which world do I belong, why am I lost in views that forbid me to live my own life.

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.

Exhibitions and art fairs:

Affordable Art Amsterdam, Brussels, Art Basel, London, Frankfurt and almost all Hilton hotels in Europe and Beijing, small museum Italy, participant atelier route Huizen.
