The N e th e r l a n d s
To illustrate photos it’s like starting from
scratch. I see it as a painting which is not finished yet. Sometimes the idea was already
there and the photographer and I thought it
all out. And sometimes I’m just trying different
techniques, colors and shapes to see what
works. The added value is to exaggerate the
feeling in the image so it gets stronger when
you look at it. My creative flow comes naturally, I can’t stop it. Inspired by all the experiences I have in life. Sometimes I wake up in the
middle of the night and thinking of new ideas
and these are so hard to ignore that I get so
excited and can’t sleep anymore. Want to start
immediately.
With series “FETE” I tried to show the party that
is going on. An explosion of colors, beautiful
women all looking like queens, with different
colors and shapes but all taking and deserving all the attention.
