About the website and my work
On this website, I will give a short overview of the free and applied work that I've done over the past few years: illustrative drawings, both in black and white and in color, cartoons, sketches in ink or pencil, and graphical work.
The themes are diverse. For the tightly constructed illustrative drawings, I found inspiration in existing locations or buildings. “Wiels”,“Sablon” and the “Mont des Arts" in Brussels, “Lamot” and the Mechelen transit camp, “Casino-Kursaal” and the “Fish Mine” in Ostend, the “Book Tower” in Ghent or the “Royal Museum for Central Africa” in Tervuren, the "Albrechtsburg" in Meissen (De) … I'm only mentioning a few of those here. In contrast to this, there are the interpretative brush strokes or ink sketches from the Island of "Skye", "Cadzand", "Cap Griz-Nez", "Dune du Pilat", "Chéoux" or "Steina". These are also just part of the oeuvre.
The cartoons and illustrations are very diverse in terms of content, and they were worked out for various clients. Magazines, newspapers, publishers, lesson packages, schools and institutions. It always brought me much joy to develop my "images" in collaboration with Natuurpunt, de Boerenbond, the Flemish Parliament, the Flemish House in Paris, the city of Herent, Flemish Radio & Television, Van In Publishing, the Catholic University of Leuven and other organizations.

My style of working and technique
The images that form inside of me arise spontaneously. They serve as a guideline for what my wrist and hand create on paper to bring my sketches to life. All I need to do is watch and follow what starts to form on the paper.
The processing of illustrative drawings is done with a Pentel brush pen. This tool allows me to work with very fine lines that grow in thickness as they start to move. Many of my images are constructed that way.

I hope your visit to this website will be a beautiful journey. Hopefully we can meet some time in the future! I am very much open to all encounters!
You can always order drawings through this website. They are prints of an outstanding quality, printed on Steinbach paper. Each print is numbered and the number of copies is limited.
