The enthusiast art teacher at my secondary school piqued my interest in drawing and painting when I was eighteen years old. But my talent laid dormant for almost fifty years. Not until my retirement was on the horizon, I activated my talent by attending oil painting workshops and guided lessons in a physical painter's studio. Without any prior knowledge or experience I learned the fundamental basics of oil painting for beginners in late 2018 and 2019. From then on I have been sharpening my skills in colourful realism and realism-impressionism painting techniques. Fine art and landscape painting with special attention for brightness, contrast, sharpness, and blurriness give me a lot of satisfaction.

Since 2024 I have been a member of KunstRondeVenen, a local association of visual artists in De Ronde Venen,
