Snowy landscape in Limburg

Walking across the grazing meadows between the wooded banks and bushes, I suddenly find myself face to face with the beautiful Hill Country. Mechelen in the Geul valley, I am standing on quite a high slope facing south. I can see the Vijlnerbos on the left and on the right I discern the South Limburg village of Epen. In the distance, I look at Moresnet with the German Eifel and Belgian Ardennes far behind.

The gateway to the south beckons and longs for 'far away', warm southern Europe. In this work, the Heuvelland is shrouded in winter atmospheres, the moon scattering its soft silver-yellow light over the undulating hills. Limburg sleeps, the half-timbered houses peacefully blend into the landscape. Here and there another fine thin wisp of blue smoke curls from a chimney.

South Limburg, part of the Netherlands where I was born. Where I experienced the first 25 happy years of my life.

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.
