The structure in this painting is so strong, you can almost feel the brush strokes. I enjoy playing with colours, combining small highlights in a nude palette.

This painting always makes me smile, sweet memories of summer. I was inspired by the colors and the taste of this delicious lemon and raspberry pie so I painted it.

I love to paint ‘en plein air’, outdoors in nature and when I’m traveling. The process of painting is very intuitive, and the colors, texture, the emotion, discovering & interpreting surrounding inspire me. Color is often one of the most exciting components in my paintings.

Walking in Marrakesh is eye time for me. Seeing a world full of colors. Food for my soul.

Autumn colors… feeling the fresh wind in your hair, watching the leaves change their colours before softly falling to the ground.

"When life gives you lemons…”

I love this proverbial phrase. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life while making lemonade out of it is turning them into something positive and desirable.

In Asia flowers have a deeper meaning, and the Frangipani flower is considered as an essence from nature that brings enlightenment and kindness. There are so many frangipani trees in our neighborhood here in Bandung.

Every morning, very early, when the air is still fresh, we make a walk, and I love to collect the fallen flowers.

There are some things, that just smell so good: coffee, jasmin, orange blossoms, and frangipani flowers.

This painting is a lovely memory of my love for Java and frangipani flowers.

Looking at a picture, allowing yourself to be absorbed, is quite similar to reading. Immersing into a story, diving in.

I love to get lost in reading books and I painted this artwork to remind myself to read more.

It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take a bath in the warm sunlight. It’s a beautiful day. Follow the love, follow the light.

I drew this paining watching a beautiful sunset in Poylnesia, the colours shifted in tones with every inch the sun set further into the coean, merged with the sea.

The lush of life, the lush of green. Sunlight dances in the room. Dreaming of emerald green waters and white sand. The sea glistened in shades of emerald and jade. The life of green, the lush of the woods. When the breezes flows, the green leaves fall, creating emerald showers. Magical mother nature. Emerald green in all nuances deep, pure and clear.

I made this drawing in Australia. When travelling, I love to paint outdoors catching the beauty of nature. Landscape drawings & paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls. Look at the painting and let the landscape call us into it’s story…

When I paint a Spring color palette, I think of a spring meadow filled with colorful flowers, bright, and fresh, full of life. Spring colors seems to me; curious, witty, adventurous, confident and eternally optimistic. The clear greens in the trees and fields, flowers blooming every where, and wildflowers along the side of the road. The landscape seems to be painted in watercolors and everything is awash in sunlight, it’s so energizing.

Sunny style lunch with my daughter, beetroot, orange and caramelized fig salad. I love to paint on old and faded paper. What at first sight seems to be ‘trash’ is contradicted when you see the beauty of the painting on used paper.

I feel some art prints find perfectly their matching location. I love this painting in the kitchen.

I painted this gingko in a vibrant orange, a color that bursts with positive energy and happiness. The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, inspiring creativity and rejuvenating our spirit.

I love the gingko tree in front of much house so much. In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

Shades of nudes and pink, all cut outs from vintage paper, which I collect during my travels and keep like treasures. Creating landscapes from little nothings.

I volunteered in the refugee camps on Lesbos in Greece. It touched me so deeply that I had to create an artwork out of these emotions and named it after a refugee from Syria: Aamer.

Intense, colorful, lovely and inspiring Morocco. Road tripping and enjoying the country, eating sardines in the harbor, meeting new people, good talks and wandering until staying in Marrakech. And even the drying laundry looks so beautiful that I had to capture the moment which resulted in “Koutoubia Marrakech”. Enjoy the intensity of the colors and feel the love!

Longing for summer days with lilac skies and a warm breeze like a soft caress.

I love natural colours and pastels, and I spice it up with some coral, green, indigo, caramel...

Spring is here, the season of new beginnings, where doors open and bright colors return.
