LIVES EN WORKS IN SCHIEDAM / HOLLAND

About my artwork

CHARACTERISTIC OF HIS WORKS IS THE USE OF THICK AND RAW OUTLINES, HE USES HIS THIN LINES TO FILL UP THE MEANFIGURE WITH MANY, MANY FIGURES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FIGURES HAVE NEARLY OR NO CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. IT’ S THE WAY THE WORLD PRESENTS IT’ S SELF TO HIM. NO INTEREST IN EACH OTHER AND THE STATE OF BEING EQUAL IS BASED ON MATERIAL.
HE’ S NOT USING ONLY HIS PEN AND PENCEL TO EXPRESS HIMSELF. HE SET OUT FOR MAKING MOVIES AND PRODUCE SOUND, WRITES STORIES AND GOES TO THE GYM.
HIS EYES IS ALWAYS ATTRACTING TO BIZAR HUMAN BEHAVIOR, WHICH CAN BE SUBTLE OR VERY RUDE. HE IS FASCINETED TO THE BIZAR BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN BEINGS. WANTING THE IMPOSSIBLE AND THE DISPARATE WAY OF BEING INWARD LIVE, FILLED WITH CONTRADICTIONS. BECAUSE OF THAT, HIS SOMETIMES SWEET PICTURE, BECOMES VERY VULNERABLE.
THE ONE WHO SEES HIS WORK CAN RECOGNIZE THE OTHER PERSON OR MAY BE HIMSELF, BEING PRESENT BETWEEN MASSES OF PEOPLE, HAVING NO CONTACT.

HIS WORK IS PRIVATELY OWNED AS WELL NATIONAL AS INTERNATIONAL, AND IS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY OF SCHIEDAM, THE CITY OF ROTTERDAM, AND THE PARLEMENT OF THE NETHERLANDS. HE RECENTLY EXPOSED IN BERLIN; DATE JANUARY 2007.
