While painting lyrical expressionistic canvases I don't use any sketch or preconceived plan. In painting thus, there is only colour, shape and structure. When I'm working I use senses rather than brains. I let things develop from a cycle of action and reaction. That's my way of painting. I let myself be inspired by nature, my memories, by traval experiences, etc. When I consider my paintings of the last few years, it is clearly seen, that besides this dynamic way of painting I developed a different working method. I started every now and than working according to a certain plan and got fascinated by a combination of dynamic elements with flat coloured areas. This combinations, from different conceptions of art history, do not only fascinate while painting. I like the results. The contrast between lyrical an geomatric parts generates dynamic harmony. When finished, a canvas has a spirit. It's not only paint on a canvas. When a spectator gets taken with it, he steps into a different world. My world. It recalls something that he or she feels within him-/herself. I had exhibitions in Germany and Switzerland and a lot in the Netherlands. M y work is part of many private and industrial collections in the Netherlands as well as abroud.
