Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
I named this painting 'Divinity' because it reminds me of my divine nature as a human being. Don't we all need to remind ourselves from time to time what our true nature is? in this context, I like the following definition of divinity: our ability to transcend perceived human limitations. It's wonderful if art has the ability to help us transcend our perceived limitations. I used water mixable oil paint diluted with water as a base layer. This way a basic composition can spontaneously form itself without me being able to exert too much control. Five more layer were added to maximise depth and luminosity. The sides of the painting are the same colours as the front. The painting is varnished, ready to hang and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. This painting will be packaged in a cardboard box with an inner casing for maximum protection.

Netherlands
I am an intuitive, abstract painter hailing from the Netherlands and was born in Eindhoven in 1974. I am a professional artist since 2004 and started painting a few years after I quit my psychology studies. I started delving deeper into my own psyche and as a result felt the unstoppable need to paint. For two and a half years I followed masterclasses given by Bob Tomanovic. There I learned different painting techniques with the emphasis on Artisan oil paint (water mixable oil paint). The element of water plays an important role during my working process because it stimulates the natural flow of energies inside myself and the letting go of control. Oftentimes I let the flow of water decide what the basis of my composition will be. From then on I build up my work in mostly transparent layers having absolutely no idea what the end result will look like. Often my work is being described as spiritual. For a lot of people it evokes a sense of otherworldliness, other dimensions or the spirit world. I always try to connect the heavenly and earthly realms by applying both dark and light colours and often using earth materials like sand and clay to ground the work against the more ethereal colour washes. In 2004 I started giving painting courses. First they were given the name of ‘intuitive painting’, later I switched to the name ‘flowpainting’. The latter because of the extensive use of water and the resultant flow. The same year I was granted a subsidy (WWIK) by the Dutch government which recognised me as a professional artist and which I received for a maximum time of four years between 2005-2010. In this period I build up my professional career as an artist and also musician and exhibited my work in both The Netherlands as well as abroad (Belgium, New Zealand and India).
