| Your Personal Biography |
Born 1948, raised in Bussum, Holland.
I studied graphic design at Academie Artibus in Utrecht,however as a painter I am self taught.
Empty shairs are a particular passion of mine,possibly suggesting a void in space and time,something left behind.
Other themes that take my interest
have a similar sentiment,old interiors,
abandoned carts,certain street scenes
are a continuous theme.
The contrast between subdued dingy lit interiors and the harsh southern sunlight are an ongoing inspiration.
For more than 15 years I have lived and worked in Portugal and have now settled
in the sparsely populated area of the
Nothern Alentejo,bordering to the Extremadura in Spain.
The landscape around me seems to predate man yet is rich with antiquities conferming his existence.
Farming techniques are little changed and it is still possible to see mule
drawn ploughs working the land under
olive and cork oaktrees.
Cork is an essential part of the local economy and its production,being taken
from the trees at nine years interval,
only serves to reinforce the timeless
nature of my surroundings.
I exhibit extensively in both Portugal and Spain and offer lessons on an individual basis. |
