New dotpaint!

This was recently made on paper (7x5 inch - 1 inch = 2,54 cm) and a major change. The dots are placed next to each other. It gives a stronger effect and reproduccion in large format is possible, this is harder in the previous dotpaints. I am also dotpainting on canvas ( large format). In another message more about canvas, it could be that the canvaspainting would be offered on sale in a seperate website. I am also thinking of holding exhibitions and selling my artwork on artmarkets. Markets enough on the Costa Blanca.

Portrait in Dotpaint!

This is the result of a portrait in dotpaint. Striking is the fact that Mrs. died a few years ago but they told me after the hand over of the painting. And it seems like a tribute to the person with the aura that is located around the figure. Coincidence or .........

A friend , she liked my work, asked me if I wanted to make a dotpainting from her mother. I thought it was a challenge, but I started with a small heart because this was the first time that I made a dotpaint from a portrait.

First I made a sketch drawing. The head and face appeared to me the hardest and with that I started.

Her hear was simultaneously a challenge and fascinating because there were so many colors in it.


I got more confidence after a while. I was satisfied of the result but I would make some adjustments.

Such a varied picture with many details wasn´t easy.

Below you can see the portrait of the woman. The persone was the most important, the rest was background.

Are you interested in a dotpaint from your portrait or a beautiful picture? Send me a message and ask for an quote. Remember to give me your e-mailadress.

about me

I´m born and raised, surrounded by nature, in the "Kempen" ( North-Belgium). From 1988, I went in search of the sun and I found her in Cataluña ( North-Spain) where I lived from 1992 till 2003. In 2007 I left Belgium again, with stops in Crete (a few months), Mexico (two weeks), South-Spain (a few months) and at this moment I live in Denia (prov. Alicante).
You´re young and you want something. I drew a bird and my prize was a football. As a young boy this is an important step and over the years I have regularly made a drawing or a painting. The passion was further strengthened by following a few winters a nightschool in Reus (Cataluña). This sent me on the right path. Dotpainting, only years later, give me the final start. Drawing and painting is combined with my work as a rep. Nature, aesthetics, colors are important sources of inspiration, but the sun plays a crucial role in the combination of daily life with art.........
