MY WORK, UNPACKED — INSPIRATIONS, SHADOWS & ALTER EGOS
Nov 30, 2024 — TV: Podium Bollenstreek (Omroep Bo)
Last night I was a guest at Podium Bollenstreek (with Nick Duindam). We talk about the threads running through my work: memories from the dunes, symbols that keep returning, the soft next to the raw. A brief anthology, yes—but with shadows and alter egos in the room.
What we cover
- Inspirations: land and light, old-Dutch craft when needed, a mark that refuses to behave.
- Symbols: a house in big weather, a figure that carries unnamed feelings.
- Shadows & alter egos: the edges I don’t always show, yet live in the work.
It became a warm, generous interview thanks to the crew and interviewer. We speak Dutch; unfortunately there are no subtitles yet.
Watch the episode here.
I love the making—layer by layer—and yes, talking about it is fun too.

Let’s connect
Curious to drop by my studio in Voorhout, interested in one of my works, or thinking about a potential collaboration? I’d be glad to hear from you. I enjoy working with collectors, curators, galleries, designers, architects, interior creatives, and brands.
Looking forward to your message!
What I see, what I feel and the stories I carry. In connection with the world around me. Symbols return (a house in a raw landscape, the hare, the deer). I work layer by layer with oil & mixed media, with a mix of magical realism and the expressive.
Shadows are the darker edges of a story, grief, doubt, strength under the skin. Not for effect, but as the backbone of the painting. Alter egos appear as figures or animals (such as the hare, deer and house): symbols that allow tenderness to exist alongside strength.
In my studio (by appointment) and at selected exhibitions. Start with the Portfolio, check Exhibitions & Press for current shows, or book a studio visit to experience the work up close.
