I had painted a similar version during a painting week in the Netherlands. It was sold on opening night. A year later when I coincidentally walked in a frame store I saw it framed with only the head. The painting was destroyed by the jealous wife of the buyer. The symbolism depicted is my life’s story in which nothing ever seemed to last.With much effort I build something and brutal storm destroys it. The figure, me, raises eventually above it, vulnerable and naked. The white cotton cap my grandmother used to wear, symbolizes the protection of the spiritual forces. I paint my dreams and the dreams unfold into reality. If I don't like it I can change it. This painting is about spiritual growth and .

I am in awe over God's creation. The sea, and the sailboats are about beauty, romance and freedom. As a child I had hay fever and I was most happy when I was at sea. Surrounded by water in my native Holland I did not have to go far. I sailed whenever I could preferably ocean racing. I wanted to become a painter and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague. To make a living I worked as a graphic Designer, stage set designer and photographer until my true desire to become a painter could not stop me any longer. I travelled to the Caribbean, became a decorative painter and started my company in wall finishes in Miami. From there I developed my skills as a fine arts painter and made several large murals. After all my travels I have become soul-oriented and I make analogies between the process the soul has to go through and the travels by sailboat.
