Summertime
17 June 2025
This summery set features a 'hippopotamus' on a vintage Vespa.
Loaded with fresh fruit and a parrot on his shoulder, he heads home.
The details such as the summery sunglasses, the heart tattoo, the grape bracelet, and the Batman emblem on the singlet give the whole artwork an extra twist.
Summery, warm, funny and a holiday feeling is what I wanted to create with 'Summertime'.

Bed & Breakfast
4 June 2025
A tulip that functions as a Bed & Breakfast, this is the idea behind this painting.
This way you can see the newly awakened and still yawning hamsters as guests in this soft yellow double tulip.
A cup of coffee and breakfast are brought to these guests just in time, because don't forget, tulips close in the evening to protect their precious pollen.
These smart flowers respond to temperature and light.

Señor de las dunas
14 May 2025
This ‘lord of the dunes’ stands between the dune grass looking at the sea.
Is he waiting for someone or is he just enjoying the view, the peace or the company?
This is what makes art so fascinating, everyone can imagine something beautiful or meaningful in a work of art.

The Exploration
25 April 2025
Action and dynamics are the key words in this painting.
Here you see a female mallard taking off after drinking water, a 'touch-and-go' as it is sometimes called in pilot training.
In this case, the pilot is a white dwarf hamster sitting in a chair on the duck's back.
In the inverted oriental hat you see two young kittens who are exploring new places, hence the title 'The Exploration’.
With the help of a telescope and searchlights, these adventurers explore the area.

Varnishing Time!
14 March 2025
How wonderful it is when all the colours and values come back to life when varnishing a painting.
Not only will all the colours come back to life, a layer of varnish will also provide an extra protective layer on this painting.

Signor Magico
14 Februari 2025
In the meantime I am busy working on this painting 'Signor Magico'.
In this painting you see a snow leopard with a magic wand on which a young little owl can be seen.
Detail Signor Magico - little owl
In addition to the young little owl, there are a number of other animals to see, such as a hoopoe, striped grass mouse and a pygmy marmoset.
They are happily staying in the hat of the magician's hat.
It doesn't always have to be a white rabbit...
They have enough provisions for the journey in the form of cherries, berries, grapes and cubes of cheese.

The Other World
7 February 2025
Future, past and imagination are captured in this painting 'The Other World'.
Do you see another planet here or does this scene take place on earth?
Let your imagination run wild…
I 'converted' this weathered oldtimer into a radio car. You can see that the baboon is wearing headphones and is trying to make radio contact.
On the left side of the painting you see a presumably wealthy couple who booked an excursion to 'The Other World'.
The details and use of light deliberately draw your eye to this couple.
The lighting of the figures gives a three-dimensional character to the representation.
This panoramic painting is build up with mainly complementary shades of orange and blue, which creates unity and tranquility in the scene.
Of course interwoven with the necessary humor and details.
