Biografia
I'm a Dutch/Italian painter. Trying to understand the world (civilization) I live in, I paint my surroundings and things I perceive. I want to catch time and place into a painted panorama. I use the Panorama as a witness of time, place, community or identity. The Panorama like a colored abstraction of the world around me. Color determines the identity of the image. I paint metaphorical Panoramas in series, each time from another perspective. The world of man: as a heritage, as a build city, as nature, colorfield or ideology (sphere).
Since 2015 I'm working on my paintingproject CITY SPHERES. In this I show the Genius Loci, the spirit of an European urban area. Through color and abstract figuration I want to capture the invisible elements of the urban sphere. Here more about it.
