Visie
Mijn beeldende werken komen voort uit een filosofische en onderzoekende benadering van het leven en de uiterlijke verschijningsvormen.
My artwork results out of a philosophical and inquiring approach of life and outward manifestations.
The motivation of creating my pieces and drawings lies in the realization that I am a child of my time. In that spirit I experience reality and do feel the need to express myself.
I direct my inner antenna on trends wich I experience in my surroundings, the way I respond to that and how other people do that. The work of art I create can be seen as a research into how we, human beings, function in the world we live in.
In my personal way, I use the abundance of information that is available. But, like everybody, I search for what interests, surprises and fascinates me especially. In that information I find my, so to say, triggers that activate me to work on another piece.
My sources of inspiration I also find in biology, chemestry, mathematics and physics, in the magnificent and universal reflection of it.
The interconnection of the sources lies in the fact that we have reached a compleet different relationship with science and what she teaches us.Technologies and applications in, for example medical science and our social lives, affect our lives in a great manner.
My work of art consists out of sculptures in small and large scales, in wood and other materials, and drawings.
Also I create work on locations, together with other artists or autonomous, and by commission.
