Artist · Amsterdam, Netherlands
Self-taught oil painter. Software engineer for 18 years. Based in Amsterdam. These two lives might seem unrelated, but they share the same instinct — to look closely, find the pattern, and make something that lasts.
I paint natural landscapes, seascapes, and still life — subjects where light does the talking. Every canvas is an attempt to hold a moment still.

"The smell of oil paint was still locked in my memory — I wanted that sensation back and here I am."
My Story
Age 17
I made my first oil painting and loved the sensation. I painted four works and even sold one — but the cost of materials was too much, and I had to stop.
Today
I paint in every spare hour — early mornings, weekends, evenings after work. Each piece is a study in patience: oil dries slowly, and that slowness suits me.
