Aftermovie Book presentation and opening solo exhibition

| December 2, 2023, Bühne, Breda


On December 2, 2023, the time had finally come: the book launch for our book "Brabantse Volksverhalen" (Brabant Folk Stories). Naomi Jansen and I presented the book to Mayor Paul Depla of the Municipality of Breda. We were interviewed by Ingrid Boschman. The exhibition opened simultaneously. It features 23 full-size works. It's a selection of the work I created last year for the book "Brabantse Volksverhalen."


The exhibition is freely accessible until January 7, 2024, at Bühne Breda, Sint Janstraat 11.


Some of the illustrations on display


Exhibition "Art in context"

March 2, 2023, Brandpunt, Breda


Two of my works were exhibited at the "Art in Context" exhibition at Brandpunt Breda. The works were displayed in a stylish setting so people could also find inspiration for their interior and art.

The works in question were: "Inspiration is everywhere" and "Rooftop New York"


These two works are also available in this size as high-quality prints in my webshop.


Exhibition "Everything is Possible" - Public Works Rotterdam

July to August 2021 | Outdoor exhibition Rotterdam


In 2021, Publiek Werken held a citywide exhibition to fill the void left by the lack of advertising on billboards. They also wanted to demonstrate that imagination is more rewarding than emptiness.


During the coronavirus pandemic, there was an increased need for connection. And with imagination, anything is possible. I drew this family, without face masks and without social distancing, enjoying dinner among the organic plants, contrasting with the structure, lines, and skyline of Rotterdam.

In this work, I also sought the right balance between black, white, and hatching. Because hatching is my "color," alongside black and white.


This illustration was on display in the Public Works outdoor exhibition. It was an outdoor exhibition throughout Rotterdam featuring works by over 600 visual artists.

Museum quality.
For all these works, I deliberately chose a high-quality, very limited edition print. This is also because the ink stays good this way for over 80 years. I'm glad I've now found a printer who can do this. This detailed photo clearly shows the texture of the paper and the printing method.
Each print is printed on 280 gram uncoated, acid-free, off-white paper

Each illustration is securely packaged and shipped within 5 business days with a personal card.
