Panorama Wiek (Wyck)

Wyck is Maastricht's east bank along the river Meuse. Wyck is called 'Wiek' in the Maastricht language. Yes, language. Maastrichtish is a kind of Limburg dialect but one that qualifies as a language. Beautiful and juicy in the ear and a pleasure to speak it. The language I prefer to speak as a born South Limburger with original Maastricht roots.

The Saint Servatius Bridge is the oldest bridge in the Netherlands, Roman in design and proudly bridges both city banks. The painting shows the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Martin and the iconic buildings of the former city brewery De Ridder. Today, it is once again home to a brewery called Stadsbrouwerij Maastricht, which brews truly fantastic and unique beers. I can heartily recommend you visit this brewery and definitely don't leave out the beer when you visit Maastricht: https://stadsbrouwerijmaastricht.com

Mother Meuse is feared but certainly cherished by the Maastricht people. Wiek is a gorgeous district with über French appeal; nice boutiques, cosy restaurants and, last but not least, the renowned art museum Bonnefanten.

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.
