Painting is a big passion of mine. To produce new art the way I see it in my mind is a challenge each and every time. Inspiration for painting comes with experiencing everyday things and is usually associated with colours, for example autumn colours or old facades. Also the work of some other painters inspires me. Prior to a new painting a certain challenge resides, what colour nuance am I aiming for? Which materials do I want to apply? Carton, filler, structure paint. The composition slowly takes it's shape; which areas need to have dark colours, which need to have lighter colours. I don't stop until all the different parts and layers are join to one composition. Mostly the process of painting is looking, removing, adjusting and looking again, which takes a lot of time.  I go through this process until the painting has the quality it needs to have.
