I made this painting after seeing the movie "Happiness" a story about loneliness and sadness. I am inspired by the fragility of the human being but also by the strength people have to go on. I like to create an emptiness in my work to be able to show the essence.I like to work on wood because I put many layers of texture, and paint and canvas would just not be strong enough to support the many sanding and scrubbing in between the layers. mixed media on wood - 30 x 40 cm

I was born in Dendermonde (1959) Belgium. In 2001 I started traveling through Spain and eventually settled in a small mountain village near Ronda, Andalusia, where I currently have my studio. My work is centered around silence and solitude. The ‘wall’ often features as the background of my images, always leaving an opening, inviting the viewer to look beyond their initial impression. I build these walls through different layers of paper, acrylics and oilpaint, hiding carefully chosen textmessages in between. My palette is intentionally restrained; I want to create an atmosphere in my work, and too many bright colors would generate a language that is not useful to me. My current paintings feature either extremely elongated, or minuscule figures in a minimalist environment. Those naked figures are merely symbols of the duality of human nature in its pure essence. The juxtaposition of these opposing, seemingly fragile figures within empty spaces - away from any unnecessary adornments - confirms my statement. My work has been awarded and published internationally and can be found in private, public and corporate collections throughout the world.
