Love to paint on old bookpaper and old faded paper, painting with japanese brushes and twigs, using thin layers of ink & paint. Old paper sucks up the ink and paint quickly, giving the paintings an open and transparent look. After a few hours the ink and paint begins to spread a bit, blurring previously sharp lines, and figures become distorted, love this mysterious and dreamy feeling.

A drawing on the back of a love letter made on an old typewriter. I love to re-use paper, because it has a story. The faded color, the holes & wrinkles…so mysterious and poetic.

“Nongkrong” – in Indonesian language “relaxing & hanging out with friends”. At the time I was a student in Indonesia. We sat together with friends having coffee and talking. “Nongkrong” is all about the pleasures of sharing time with friends.

Inspired by my travels to Polynesia.

 Colorful joy, inspired by my love of color.

Color is so powerful, it sets the mood for the story I’m telling through my art. I use color very intuitive, I do not start with a color palette, but start painting directly, I am fearless when it comes to color..

‘Color is a power which directly influences the soul’ by Wassily Kandinsky

Like a lotus flower
trusting the light.
Pristine petals rise
from murky waters.

Opening with the rising of the sun 
and closing as night falls. 

Every morning is a new beginning.
Soft and peaceful.

Breaking through the water's edge
the beauty is inspiring.
My heart is following the sun.
A symbol of beauty, purity and enlightment.
I love the lotus flower.
