Two girls having fun with a swing. It's Saturday. The blue color is part of the free feeling of the Saturday.

All of my artworks are inspired by weathered walls with posters, peeling paint and all kinds of things in dilapidation.

I try to create something new, something beautiful with these elements.

SATURDAY SWING

A girl in a white dress, plays outside with her blue ball on an early sunny Sunday morning. The streets are still quiet and empty. She is waiting for a friend to play with.

I think that now more than ever, the recurring themes in my portfolio are highly relevant. My art depicts the current state of the world, and how our children grow up in an often unfair as well as deteriorating environment. Yet, it is precisely the children's ability to transcend difficult situations and find joy and light in the darkest surroundings that is the much-needed hope for the future. Sustainability is also integrated in my works through the materials I use. Most of these are materials have been repurposed to be used in my artworks.

WAITING FOR A FRIEND

A girl in a white dress, plays outside with her yellow ball on an early sunny Sunday morning. The streets are still quiet and empty. She is waiting for a friend to play with. Then she discovers her shadow and sees it as her new friend, going everywhere with her.

Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend any rotten situation is amazing. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed-out Syrian city. Playing soccer in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They save the future that our generations really messed up and don't even blame us for it. If only we could keep the child in ourselves a little more, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Art can help us find our childlike innocence again

MY SUMMER FRIEND

A boy is walking outside with his balloons, trying to escape the gloomy reality in which he lives. I have printed a photograph, of my original artwork on paper, on canvas. The printed image is layered over with paper and acrylic paint, so there has been created a completely new original artwork.

LIFT ME UP II

A doppelgänger is a being in fiction, folklore and pop culture who is an almost exact copy of another person. Usually, this personality nevertheless concerns an evil counterpart, symbolises evil or the sight of a doppelgänger is an omen of it.

This mixed media / collage artwork is made with layers of acrylic paint and magazine paper. Arranged over each other in such a way that a deeply layered whole is created.

The inspiration for this technique is the torn posters and peeling paint found on old city walls

DOPPELGÄNGER

**SILVER LINING**

A landscape with a cheerful and summery flower meadow in the foreground and a dark menacing and ominous forest in the background.

  
A girl plays with her skipping rope in the flower field, her back turned to the dark forest. As if she is trying to ignore something that is about to happen in the future

  
Many small details are incorporated in this Mixed Media flower landscape. An image that has now disappeared from our lives, as children hardly play outside any more.

SILVER LINING

The time when you are young or do not have much experience.

Kids inspire me. Their ability to transcend any given rotten situation is astounding. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that our generations have really messed up, not even blaming us for it. If we only could keep the kid in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn’t be in such a mess. Art can help us to re-find our childlike innocence

A TENDER AGE

Hidden behind large green plants, you see the playing silhouettes of two girls. Echoes. A true echo is a single reflection of the sound source are the echo produced by the bottom of a well, by a building, or by the walls of an enclosed room and an empty room.
