Caribbean Face
(2016)A timeless Caribbean tribute to the universal Western Art-world
Artistic Study House of Orange
(2002 - 2021)One of my inspiration sources with a bridge function connecting the parts of the Dutch Kingdom, is the House of Orange. 'Aruban Prank and Pride' was presented in the Dutch Paviljon in 1992, at World Expo Sevilla 1992... (Reflecting and exploring my own identity as an Aruban.)
Portraits
(1976 - 2021)As a professional artist I mainly earn my living with the painting of portraits. Portraits are excellent studies for constant growing in the techniques of painting, I believe... from sketch to 'official portrait'.
Model studies, etc.
(1977 - 2021)The naked truth, a timeless source of inspiration through the centuries for the Arts...
New Biblical Art
(1996 - 2010)A quest for a 'new' actual interpretation of 'DIVINE MADNESS'... related to the Christian belief/faith and inherent doubts, in the broadest sence of the word... The ultimate philosophy of the dominating western culture and amongst others, also the source of the 'international basic human rights' (?!)
My Aruban roots
(1991 - 2023)Our Kingdom in general and the Aruban Culture in particular are a constant source of inspiration for me. Also the chaotic, dynamic, sometimes almost 'collage-like' (jazzy) Caribbean identity of Aruba, is reflected as well as I can, in this series/collection!
INTERNATIONAL JAZZ ART
(1989 - 2009)This experimental 'melting pot' of styles and techniques is the series that gave me relative fame. My 'Jazz Art' was presented in the Dutch Paviljon at World Expo Seville '92, which implied my international breakthrough. Reflection of the international acculturation process and the global integration...
Sculpture / Plastic Art
(1979 - 2006)Bronze samples inspired by music and other experimental work with 'interesting radiating power'... in my eyes. And some studies...
Youthwork: Quest for Harmony
(1977 - 1980)My elementary silkscreen series, the basic of my world view: 'Quest for Harmony'... Quest for a personal harmony in a chaotic universe; a human harmony... I hope my Art and game in life will compensate a little my personal faults... My destiny most probably ?!
