Solo exhibition Gallery De Kei

Nov. 30 my solo exhibition at Gallery De Kei started with a wonderful opening! It really felt like a party to me.
This has been one of the best exhibitions for me and a lot of paintings were sold.
I cooperate with Gallery De Kei since 2006, and
I'm very happy to be able to work with the very passionate gallery owner Cees and manager Winny.

My studio

Welcome to my blog

When you start a blog you have to be consistent in writing, otherwise it makes no sense. From now on I'll be writing every now and then about what's going on in my mind, considering art and the artworld, and also about the creation of my artwork of course. My paintings speak a universal language, I don't have to translate them. I've chosen to write this blog in the most known language in the world and I'll try to do my very best. If you don't understand what I mean, just ask me.
