For me art is a thing of beauty, but even if the women I paint are very beautiful, I cannot profess to putting beauty at the forefront. It is all about capturing the soul, charisma and mysticism in a given moment of a fleeting situation and being able to relate this emotion to others. 
The constant seeking for my own mode of expression is what drives me most when I create.

My art is greatly inspired by modern photo art. Expression-wise I am in the borderland between painting and photography. 
In my painting I aim to create a feeling of modern photo art, thus combining the best of both worlds. The photo’s ability to capture the soul and charisma of a fleeting moment; the painting with its surface, finish and exclusive feel that the photo could never hope to reproduce.

To achieve this I have adapted my techniques more towards photographic expression than painted art. 
This allows me to erase the borders between the photographic and painted art modes of expression. 
I use a technically advanced and time-consuming layer by layer technique, building up my painting in many thin layers with no traces of brushwork. I use techniques like schumring and glaze painting, which gives the impression of photo art but with a painted finish. The layer by layer painting gives the colours depth and lustre. 

My aim is to create contemporary, figurative painting that belongs in the here and now.
