My aim to is to deceive reality by joining contradictions. This is a constant factor in my work: what you see is a starting point for contemplation.’
I study the possibility/impossibility of identification between one person and another. My creations display a symbiosis of African /Afro- American and my own Dutch cultural heritage, symbolism and the mundane reality of today’s world, often inspired by people or events. As I was born in The Netherlands and raised partly in Africa, I lived with the concept of contrast, cultural differences, and the confrontation between the sexes. As a result, Thus the problem of living together in diversity features heavily in my work.


‘The greatest insult is to be ignored.’

I realised that in Dutch art History of the Golden Age the main focus was on white people. The denial of black people in the Dutch paintings at that time, made me aware of my History.
This became the starting point of a series portraits of African/ Afro American representatives of the Hip-hop scene and African Kings and Queens. While mixing up time-lines, inspired by Dutch painters of the Golden age, ‘History Shall Be Kind To Me’ was made.
In the monochrome paintings of “History Shall Be Kind To Me… part II”
Haile Selassie is wrapped in the Royal Dutch Coat with symbols of the Dutch and Egyptian lion. And Marcus Garvey, a pioneer in the struggle for civil rights for black people in the United States deserves his new title as Master MG seated on the seat of Abraham Lincoln. The works arise from removing paint, instead of applying it. I approach the canvas as a sculpture, color, weight gains meaning as I carefully remove the paint, a process in which the presentation layer by layer to the fabric is withdrawn. Because of the size and color the impact of these works on a photographic view is not always obvious. The manner of presentation is essential. The paintings are not stretched, but hung like a tapestry on the wall.

At the moment I am working on the project 1% Pure goodness a project that I started in South Africa last year. More information about this project can be found on the www.artforgold.com )
