Floor: 2. etasje
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
I work mainly with painting, but sometimes also with collage, and I use photographs.
I have a long career as an artist behind me, and I look forward. Working with painting in our time is for me a positive challenge. It is driven by love for the medium itself and a strong engagement for the nature we live in, where there always are vulnerable situations, something is at stake. I consider the figurative form I have used the last years as suitable for visualizing those situations and problems.
