arts

“Drawing itself is inventing, building, making the structure. The colors give weight, bright blue against luminous orange vibrate together, and that energy, I want to let it dance".

” My drawings are carriers for stories; the communication over and over again between humans and animals, who lures whom?”

“Magical questions that make life light. Everything I do not understand receives a small drawing. They are annotations on life. This personal archive is the starting point of every new drawing.”

Works are available through the fine art gallery Posthuys on Texel and Artzaanstad exhibition and art center in Zaandam.
