I was born in 1980 in Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands.
It is this city I grew up in and the cities and places I came across since that I let me inspire me in my work mostly.

| About the Artist |
As I painter I choose to paint in 1 style only: realism or magic realism.
For me as an autodidactic painter, it is the most interesting style to express myself in. architecture plays a very
important role in my work and buildings and cities, often painted in a strongly exaggerated perspective, are a returning theme in my paintings. |

| Education and biography |
-September 2000 I started studying at the Art Academy of Utrecht, The Netherlands.
This study was, for me personally, to much focused on only the abstract forms of art.
Because my personal interest in arts always lay more into the more realistic styles it wasn’t a great success. I quit my study four months later than I started it to became a autodidact art painter.
