New: Cyclads 1

Over the last years, summer holidays from my part-time musicology studies, to me means time for painting. And sawing and sanding and building the various layers of wood into a coherent composition. These works are painted on MDF and various textures and materials are applied. This series is inpired by the Cyclads. Would you like to come and see these paintings (and others as well), please feel free to make an appointment!
New: Cyclads 2

To be able to somewhat assess the depth in these works, I have added side view pictures for each work. But it remains a photo and you can only see the full effect when you can have a real look from all sides. You are most welcome to make an appointment to come and have a look at these new works in Amsterdam!

Logo design
Juli 2022
Logo design for the Flentrop Organ Wageningen Foundation, promoting the organ in the Grote Kerk in concerts and more events, in which the organ plays a prominent role. To show the central place of the organ, a stylised organ pipe forms the letter l. From it, sound waves of the organ are portrayed, that also symbolise the 'flow' in a broader sense of the word. For this design a modern, rounded font is used and a bright, powerful contrast colour to reflect the new, contemporary use of the organ.
New: free and gentle
August 2021
Finally a new painting! Due to my Musicology studies at the University of Amsterdam and my work as a graphic designer, not much time is left to paint. But here's another one, entitled free and gentle. A work consisting of various shapes of mdf layered on top of eachother, painted in acrylic combined with several textures, such as sand an jute. This way extra depth is created. Would you like to have a look at this (and other) works, please feel free to make an appointment!
