A lot is written about the plastic pollution we, humans, leave behind. Micro particles can be found anywhere theses days. Yet we don't seem to care. When I found this on an average street after 'King's Day' in Amsterdam, I was disgusted, but also noticed the beauty of the colors and the light. Printing will be on Fuji Pearl. Different size prints are possible, additional costs only involve the material of a larger print. The prints come signed and numbered with a certificate.

Is my purpose as an artist for my work to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power? Something beyond just shooting a beautiful image? Maybe so, but my primary drive is to create, a drive that became stronger with age. One day I found a dead bird, wet, with ruffled feathers against a curb on a road near Amsterdam. I don’t know how it died, but its harrowing fate struck me. Twice the Fall that humanity befell. Driven from their celestial paradise in the sky and ending up in dirt, rain and spilled gasoline. I picked it up, took it home and made pictures of it, a process that later became the ‘Mortuus Avium’© series. Creating the images is a painful and sometimes begrimed process, since the subjects are dead and decaying. An inevitable fate I try to halt, albeit temporarily, by giving them a new and eternal life in my artworks. The dark artworks by Anselm Kiefer and the Dutch artist Armando always inspired me. My iconography however, is more rooted in the 16th century Dutch masters tradition. As an equipoise I needed to create artworks depicting life, exuberance and hope. Thus the ‘Vagina Monochromes’© came to life. Death and decay versus life and creation. The end versus the beginning. Thanatos versus Eros. More within the accepted realm of photography are the 'Nebula'©- and 'Architecture'© series: The 'Nebula'© series describe my fascination with the age old human fear of mist and what dangers it might contain, while at the same time beautifying mundane object and scenes. 'Architecture', began with researching the hate-love paradigm of my city, Amsterdam, with high rises versus the coveted 17th century city center. Occasionally eye and lens are drawn to a subject outside the categories above. The 'Mortuus Avium'© series mostly come as large, unique artworks, (occasionally also as smaller works in limited (1-3) editions), and unless indicated otherwise, always printed on Chromaluxe® and framed in repurposed frames. The 'Vagina Monochromes ©' are unique installations with LED panels, backlighting layers of print and cellophane, also in repurposed frames. The 'Affordable Vagina Monochromes Series' © are 'print only' editions of 10. All other works vary in size, shape and print technique. Repurposed frames, with a new original skin, are a hallmark of my work and all framed works have an engraved brass plate as certificate of origins attached to the back.
