Art is an everyday activity. In my case at least. The more I paint, the more I want to paint. I had this funny idea about oil paint: My brushes get dirty, my hands, it takes so long to dry, etc.

And then lockdown happened! I almost finished all my acrylic paint and only have  two colours left now. None of them is white!

BUT I have lots of oil paint. So I started to paint, using oils. Oooh! What a joy! It smells nice, it is flexible. It takes a long time to dry, yes, that is true, but while it's drying, you and your painting can still be in conversation. It gives you time to change whatever you are not happy with. And that is wonderful!

I played with the idea to paint something different namely ABSTRACT paintings. I discovered that there is someone who likes certain types of art. Every single piece of art will find an owner.

"Every artist plays a different and necessary part in contributing to the overall health, development, and well-being of our society. Art is about connecting with people’s emotions. It’s personal and at the same time, universal. Everybody hurts. Everybody loves. Everybody hopes. And, everybody dies. Mainly, art is about our own sense of mortality." The artist's role in Society



 My passion and joy is to play with paint. I had no idea what I wanted to paint when I started. It turned out to look like abundance!  

More realistic. Black and white only. 
Black evokes power, luxury, elegance, professionalism and simplicity. It's bold, powerful and a little mysterious. White, an inherently positive color, is associated with purity, virginity, innocence, light, goodness, heaven, safety, brilliance, illumination, understanding, cleanliness, faith, beginnings, sterility, spirituality, possibility, humility, sincerity, protection, softness, and perfection.

Painting is a lifetime pursuit filled with discovery and experimentation.
 I invite you to share the journey with me.

The joy of painting with a paletteknife must never be underestimated! The key to selling more work is to find your own voice, they say. All artists have a unique voice and we can all find it.
TODAY I share my latest abstract painting with the world. Enjoy!

This time of the year is colourful and wonderful. Autumn burst all around us in joyful colours!

On blocked canvas: 60 x 42 cm. Available

I love to paint, to do art, to be creative! It is important to get outside your own head once in a while and look at the world from a different view. I need to find a way to constantly expand my creative horizons. I need to find a way to create something (anything) that wasn’t there yesterday and then offer it to the world. I am priveleged to share what I create! I make some time every day to just listen to that small creative voice from inside. It became a challenge to me to find some reason to keep trying, keep painting and enjoying!
I think we do tend to underestimate the value of connecting with others. I know that for me personally, just the energy, encouragement, ideas and enthusiasm I usually get from talking with other artists, friends or relatives is well worth the effort.

I created an album page on facebookpage with the name: Happy Art .

To paint flowers


Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is. 
Jackson Pollock.

Nasturtiums, every garden should have some. 
And you should have this painting! 


To use waterpaint when painting flowers is such a joy! Here are two of my latest and simple watercolour paintings.
