I have sold work in Germany,Portugal,UK,US and ofcourse Belgium.

In my work I often try to make the objects more beautiful than they are,at least at my point of view.

Landscape is one of my favorite subjects,mostly done in watercolors,second are portraits or actionpaintings of musicians mostly done in watercolor or graphite.

I always work with professional paper and paint.

Titels are often chosen by the way that I feel at that moment.I think feelings reflect in the way you paint.
