In the olive grove

Paxoi, Paxi, or Paxos (Greek: Παξοί) is one of the Ionian Islands, and municipality (dimos), located in northwestern Greece, south of Corfu. Also, it is the collective name of an island group, of which Paxi and Antipaxi are the largest. The island has an area of about 19 km² and a population of about 2300. The capital is the picturesque Gaios, a former pirates' nest, located on the southeast side of the island. Here is also the main port of the island. It owes its protected position to the two small islands (Panayia and Agios Nikolaos) that form it. Other places of some importance are Lakka in the extreme north and Loggos (also called Longos) in the northeast. The west coast is largely characterized by steep limestone cliffs, which are highly eroded at sea level. Paxi is known for its many olive trees (about 500,000) and the high quality olive oil produced there.

I regularly visit Paxos for my vacations. I enjoy painting the olive groves and other beautiful sites there.

Contemporary images and even those from the past inspire me to recycle them for re-actionary contemporary impressionist art. My drawings and paintings are sketch impressions in a loose and free style, the paintings in a colorful palette. I also produce collages and digital artworks or find new inspirations and compositions through paint strokes from existing works. I work fast, from emotion, averse to perfection, careful not to lapse into details and endless fiddling.

Compositions in an almost unfinished state, works that are part of the contemporary impressionist incentive. Evolving towards a more questioning abstract essential contemporary expressive impressionism.

With the internet we are overloaded with thousands of images a day, wonderful. But does original art on the wall still have a future? Yes, you can touch them, feel them, smell them. Paintings and drawings that move and stimulate you, that give you attention and immerse you every day in a bath of total relaxation and pleasure. People say that I am one of the most appreciated and renowned post-war art painters from South Limburg. I sell my original works all over the world. I very much appreciate the cooperation with Werk aan de Muur / Oh my Prints because my originals are now also available for everyone through excellent, high quality re-productions.
