Dynamic group portrait, though the relation between the figures of the group is not instantly clear. The composition seems to be narrative, but the interaction between the figures is obscure, the main feel to be that of freedom. Individual figures are inspired by and transformed from Instagram feeds.

I learnt to paint in a classical way: by observation, with solid anatomical underpinnings, but in my own practice I am mainly interested in what you can leave out, suggest. My work is figurative and inspired by the male figure, but I do not seek realism. As a trigger or motif, I find my images in photography or the media. Through painterly discoveries during the working process, I let go of this and a more layered reality emerges. My process is exploratory: in the process of painting I try to find a (new) image - instead of the pre-defining everything. I'm trying to build an image from multiple layers of paint and from the peculiarities of the paint itself. But it is a controlled process. I build the image in slow layers. I combine a thin and sparse use of oil paint - whereby the oil looks like watercolour - with a stronger application of the paint that I would not get from watercolour. Foreground and background are sometimes mixed; Some forms are painted in detail, while omitting other forms; but for the eye the picture still is a whole. Colour introduces new variables in each work. My work is based on images that I find in everyday life, on the street, on the road. But I combine them freely. I often ignore the reality of space. I cut and paste. As a lover of people I focus on people: put people together, creating group events, or single out one face or interaction. In spectacular colours that mix and sift through. A longing for intimacy, freedom, beautiful moments, special trips and events. This collage-like approach is of all times, but for me it also relates to our digital lifestyle and the dominance of images in contemporary media.
