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.........

WHY DOTS?

In 2006 I was fascinated by an artist in Belgium by some dotpaints on canvas he had exposed. I was hypnotised by the power of the artwork and it sucked me into the canvas and that was new for me.

I started painting again but had no clear purpose, had no preference. Shortley afterwards there was a 2 hours workshop given by the same artist in the local village and I was excited. The workshop led to self - start.

Relaxation, be yourself, imagination, fascination........, These are some values to me by this technique of painting.

I usually start by drawing some lines and let me lead by my fantasy, where the dots allow me to bring. It happens also that I have a clear picture of a design. Acryl is the basicpaint and very important are the colorcombinations, colors can make are brake the design.

This is just the beginning, many ideas will still come and there are many dots to follow.........
