Should I stay or should I go
2025The painting: Should I go or should I stay, depicts a surreal beach setting in which a blue Citroën 2CV surrounded by luggage and a living room arrangement with an armchair, table and lamp stand in the middle of the sand. This alienating combination of homeliness and holiday evokes a feeling of doubt. The title reinforces the theme of inner conflict, as if the scene freezes a moment in time when the choice between staying and leaving is still open.
Daydreams about new adventures
2025A blue Citroën 2CV, a beach hotel with a comic strip mural and a living room without walls combine to form a surreal beach setting. In Musings of new adventures, memory and imagination merge into a scene that feels both familiar and alienating. Everything seems to stand still, while the thought of a new adventure gently begins to come to life.
The time traveler
2024A surreal scene of a blue Citroën 2CV parked on a beach. In the background is a large, independent hotel. A person in a long coat walks across the beach towards the house, while various suitcases and other travel paraphernalia are scattered about. The whole radiates an atmosphere of truthfulness and unreality.

Lost
2023'Lost' is one of the few self-portraits I have made. But actually the term self-portrait does not cover it all. I better call it an autobiographical painting. It reflects a recent period when, unknowingly at first, I had a serious health problem. Fortunately, the problem has now been solved thanks to medical science, but at the same time there is also the harsh realization that things could have gone completely wrong. The painting is about the mental processing of this period of uncertainty and ignorance. It's so personal that I still have to decide whether to put it up for sale or not.

Out of time
2022This idea for the painting came to mind during the road trip I made with my love and my 2cv along the coast of France. Like many of my paintings, it is a mixture of reality, dreams and memories which creates an image of an imagined reality and lets you be a part of this journey.
