In a nutshell

In a nutshell: I’m an artist from Delft -with roots in Aruba and Curaçao- who works with lines, mostly in birchwood. Old masterpieces are wonderful in their light, color, composition and lines. These masterpieces are engraved in our collective memory and part of our heritage. I am fascinated by the necessary lines for the recognition of masterpieces.

I use Delft colors….

With designer Hella Jongerius I share the opinion that we have to guard against color flattening. The colors of my wall objects are therfore carefully chosen from the Delft range of colors, based on, among other things, old paintings from the city of Delft.

…and the blackest paint

Most of my work is inspired by the 17th centrury, the so called Dutch Golden Century. However this wasn’t so golden time at all for most people. Therefore my black wall objects are painted with Stuart’s Semple’s flattest, mattest, black paint in the world. This British artist developed this paint as the result of an ongoing feud with an other British artist, Anish Kapoor.
