Waiting for his homecoming

Beautifully dressed with an umbrella, she stands on Maastricht's 'Aw Brögk' (the Old Bridge: Saint Servatius Bridge) waiting for her husband who will return home from a long cargo cruise from northern Germany. You can see here an impressionist scene from 1880 with the two towers of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Star of the Sea in the background. I love coming to Maastricht. Family lives there, I studied there and the city has a huge attraction because of my family roots, its burgundy character and typical Walloon Maasland architecture. A beautiful cityscape with a typical Maastricht skyline in stylish, moody colours.

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.
