I drew a lot when I was young, but I decided to start painting relatively late in life. In 1995 I graduated the Wackers Art School in Amsterdam.

Painting and drawing from observation has my preference, in which the light and the ambience are of the upmost importance.
I prefer making portraits, but also landcapes and seascapes captivate me. Sometimes I work on assignments, e.g. painting portraits.
I work rather quick and sketchy. You can see the result in my flamenco drawings..
I use various techniques, but sketching musicians when they perform has my preference.
