News & Agenda

INTERVIEW

In Januari 2026 I have been interviewed by the news magazine of my church De Duif (The Dove) in Huizen. The magazine will be in a new form and they were interested in my work as an artist, art educator and poet. In relation with my faith.

Photo’s were taken and there will be a 2 page article, and a feature on the cover.

The name of the magazine is De Verbinding
(The Connection). Publication is on 17 Februari 2026.

UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION

During Lent 2026 we plan to have my
solo-exhibition in the Protestants Church in Voorschoten.

A selection of my artwork with the theme of Lent wil be shown in the historic church.

The art will be selected by the art committee,
with my assistance.

(The artwork in the picture is an example of my art with the theme of Lent, but the selection will be made later)

SENDING IN A SUBMISSION

For the exhibition the Tower of Babel, I sent in a submission of an art installation.

The exhibition will be from November 2026 until May 2027, in the Stedelijk Museum Breda.

It is a collaboration with the Bijbels Museum.

I designed an art installation about the failing communication with people with a psychiatric background and the invitation to connect authentically.

PREPARATIONS FOR AN EXHIBITION

I plan to exhibit in the spring of 2026, in art gallery
De Kleine Toonzaal in Huizen.

The gallery owner and I started the preparations, and looked into the arrangement of my art in the gallery.

The artworks are digital blendings of photography with drawings/paintings, and will be printed on different materials and in different sizes.

SMALL ASSIGNMENT

I am involved in shelter home Tolvrij in Huizen. As a regular guest, a workshop leader and an art curator for the art window.

Now they gave me a small assignment to make a presentation with a number of aspects of the shelter home, based on a sketch by the chairman.

And so I drew 16 images of what Tolvrij stands for, like hospitality, contact, workshops, prayer and lunch.

EXHIBITION

11 July – 14 September 2025
Group exhibition: Maak het mee! (Experience it/Participate)
Nederlands Vestingmuseum Naarden
Heritage Festival Gooi & Vecht

For an exhibition I developed a new artwork. I already made the image, a combination of a photo and an en plein air drawing in oil pastel, of the same pond, in the park near by my home. I blended the two images digitally and edited the new artwork further. For the exhibition it is printed on satin in ca 70 x 100 cm.

EXPLAINING VIDEO

For the traveling exhibition Heel de aarde,
by art collective ArsProDeo, I recorded a video to explain my artwork in the exhibition.

I was invited by the St. Jacobs Church in Vlissingen to tell something about my video PLACE, at the opening of the exhibition, but I couldn’t be there in real live. So I recorded a video.

During the service and opening, the video was shown, for the most part articulated by the reverend. 6 July 2025
