Art is a parcel of astonishment, waiting to be on rapt.
However drawing and painting was a big passion even when I was a child, I started of as a photographer. On a more commercial basis, to earn a living. In the eighties at the art academy I discovered the possibilities of 3 dimensional works. Never deles I started of with drawing and painting. Ideas of steel objects I developed then, I recently worked out and going with the project I created a symbiosis between paintings and steel sculptures. Also the photography has become a tool to create art. Digital manipulation gives a rich ranch of possibilities comparable with the craftsmanship of the black and white period. It gives photography an extra dimension. Is it a coincidence that also photographs are printed on metal nowadays? The disciplines I never wanted to choose between are getting closer and closer.
My inspiration is often found in details or fragments I find in my environment. Symbols I use to comprehend the world around my and let my share my astonishment and admiration for it.
