Born in Rotterdam, 1952Living in Overveen, The Netherlands.
1974-1976 Rietveld Academy - Teaching degree, drawing and painting.
1976-1982 Rietveld Academy - Fine arts, painting and monumental design
Since graduating, I focused primarily on commissioned portraits, not only in the Netherlands, but from all over the world.
As of 2005, I've changed my focus and am concentrating on free creations.
Recently, I started 'The Garbage Collection'. This is a recent series of acrylic paintings that, although figurative stills, are almost abstract. The source of inspiration is our daily garbage, as witnessed by the fast transience of matter and events in this modern age.
