Who and what else...

my way of working...

To paint is for me, among other things, a kind of self-exploration and the exploration of my creative possibilities.
In my work I use mixed techniques, such as collages, assemblages and oil paints, because I like to work with my hands as an artisan does.
Bright colors are regularly succeeded by sober tints; a spontaneous way of painting is alternated by a more introverted way of working.
Different themes attract me, such as: architecture in landscape, but much abstracted; the human being as such, but especially the woman.
I experience painting like sculpturing on a flat surface, monumental and not disguised.
