Vision in English: I am a mid career artist and painting or drawing as long as I can remember.

When I was 23 I felt the urge to look for a place more nordic than Norway. to Iceland.
I wanted to take time to find myselve unbound from friends and family, alone with the creative powers of nature.
It freed me from the pressure of creating art, because the nature in Iceland has its own art.
And yet it emerged a tremendous creative power that I can still feel today.

Nature phenomena as mountains, water, trees, light , wind plants and clouds tell me about connections that rise far beyond my beeing. As a urban citizen re-finding myself in collision with natural elements, I like to submerge, by making treks, camping in nature, struggle with and preferably work directly from nature.
I am searching for abstract means in natural environment,  a balance between personal expression and visual impact. 


 Visie Nederlands :Binnen de context van het landschap zoek ik naar cyclische processen die de elementen veranderen: lichtval, seizoenen, groei, overwoekering, vergaan en wederopbouw, erosie. Ik wil het vangen in kleur, structuren, vorm en beweging. 
Ik werk graag buiten in direct contact met mijn omgeving, open voor het mysterieuze van het moment.

Steps and traces, retracing a landscape


Stap voor stap doorloop ik het landschap, elke steen, kloof en schuine rots aftastend. Het heeft me altijd verbaast hoe de regen, het weer, de smeltsneeuw, de kou en de hitte het rotsoppervlak vormt, trager dan een mensenleven, maar soms abrupt en onherstelbaar. Brekingen, doorklieving, landslides, lawines schuiven door het langzaam vormgegeven erosielandschap.  Stap voor stap volg ik de lijnen en vlakken, op zoek naar richting en orde, die uiteindelijk de omgeving vormen.


Steps and traces

Step by step I walk through the landscape, every stone, sleating rock, hole, scanning carefully with my foot. It always surpriced me how rain, snow, meltwater, heat and cold shaped the hard rocks, slower than a human live, but sometimes abrupt and irretrievable. Breaking, cleaving, landslides, avalanches slide through this slowly erodating landscape. I retrace lines and flat planes, looking for a direction or natural order that shape this very landscape.
