UPCOMING 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

PREPARING A PODCAST

In July 2025 we hope to record a podcast, where I will be interviewed about my art, art education and my poetry, like my book Everything that was soft and my new upcoming book of poetry. We have been preparing the technical things and the themes.

The podcast is for the website of the learning community The Blue Dome/De Blauwe Koepel.

NEW PROJECT:
YOU YOURSELF ARE THE SOUL OF MY PRAYERS

I started with a new project. Exploring a new theme, inspired by a song, art of Monet and Berlinde Bruyckere and by an assignment of an alumni day of the master arts education.

On the project page you will find the
ongoing process.
