Little harbour with wooden boats

Paxos. A pearl in the Greek Ionian Sea. Loved by many visitors who take good care of and love nature. Island lovers who love originality and total tranquillity. The brave little island once created by the Greek God Poseidon is neither spoilt nor overrun by mass tourism purely because there is nothing to be found in mass entertainment.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is the god of water, sea, horses and earthquakes. He is one of the Olympian gods and the brother of the supreme god Zeus. The god is known for his rigid nature and for the trident (trident) he always holds in his hand. He gets the trident from the cyclopes (one-eyed giants) and is therefore the symbol of Paxos. Incidentally, the Roman equivalent of the deity is Neptune.

Since my first visit to Paxos in 1987, I ended up in the fishing village of Loggos. I have been going there regularly ever since. The island is small but offers a surprising number of fun and interesting sites. I was inspired there by the beautiful bays, olive groves, picturesque villages, abandoned mills and local cottages. The painting you see here concerns the little port of Loggos. On the opposite side, you can see the pier houses typical of Loggos. I wish you much pleasure in purchasing a beautiful reproduction of this work which can be ordered up to a large size.

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.
