Introduction – about me and my art
I create art. I think I always wanted to create something. First I wanted to be a window dresser, later I became a fashion designer and eventually I decided to hang another sign on my doorbell. Visual artist. Of course the time, effort, interests and experience did help me become one. It did not just happend overnight.
Most of the time i don’t know what I’m going to make or how the end result wil look like. It’s a proces of making you step into. Trying to create something new, something that works, that will talk to you and gives me adrenaline. My art can be seen in different sort of disciplines, painting, drawing, photography, sculptures, video. Sometimes a combination of these things, you can call it mixed media.
My inspiration are mostly processed into the art works. Talking a walk and looking around, seeing things, visualize them as a director cuts a movie, images pop up constantly me. How a shadow works on a pavement, the spaciousness of a collection of bushes in a park. Framing images of my surroundings can make an idea for an artwork.
