“There is always light” shows you a wide, Norwegian inspired landscape. Under a midnight sun you can see both the stars and a bit of sunlight peeping over the horizon. The sun is reflected in a vast body of water. The horizon is obscured by a broad range of low mountains. Before your view of the water is obscured by a cliff, you can see a little island on the right side of the painting. The painting depicts part of my journey up from the depths of despair after my brain injury. My life isn’t always easy but I find little spots of light to help me continue onwards. There is always light, somewhere!

An orange glow hangs over a foggy scene. Nothing can be seen beyond some branches in the foreground and a few small butterflies moving from the darkness towards the lightest point in the sky. A foggy autumn night is upon you.

From the darkness rise wavy green lines. They slowly brighten to a pearly white. creating the illusion of looking through a kelp forest into the sunlight above the water.

This beach landscape is a legacy from a sketchbook of my great-grandfather. A large, strong mooring post stands in a gently shimmering sea on the Dutch coast. The sand along the surf is damp and shows the footprints of the two people walking along the water.

Winter in Norway shows you a landscape frozen in time. The soft light of the sunset or sunrise gives the whole scene a somewhat green-bluish tinge. You are positioned high above the water in the snow. Behind the snow covered bushes and trees you can see the mist covered water. The windless moment allows water to reflect the light blue sky with her peach coloured clouds. On the opposite shore the sun is hidden behind a low ridge of misty hills.

In this very abstract picture depicts choppy white-greenish water and a restless teal blue and greenish sky. The sky seems to be crossed by some flying bird, flying towards the left. The bird itself is hardly visible, but for the different direction of the strokes and the subtle glistening of it’s shape. The end result was a big surprise to myself, as this was painted with my eyes closed from the moment I prepped all my material and positioned dots on the canvas. The first thing that came to mind was the scripture from Genesis 1. I therefore named the painting “Spirit of God”, but in Hebrew; “Veruach Elohim”.

This abstract painting depicts a moorland under an unruly Dutch sky. The stormy sky is very dark blue at the top. A few lighter clouds hang near the horizon over a landscape full of blossoming heather. On the right side the sky is mirrored in a little lake. The landscape, with its purple, green and sand colours, looks wild. This is made possible trough the use of a pouring technique which makes the paint flow in and around each other in an organic way.

A yellow greenish background with a grayer bottom half is the background of this abstract painting named The Fjords. Whilst practising with my palette knives I felt inspired by my time in Norway and seeing the fjords. The masses of stone are depicted in a mix of mostly grey-blue colours. They leave room in the middle of the canvas for the light to shine on the bottom half of the painting, interspersing the grey with white and a coppery orange. Due to the grid that sits on top of the back fjord it also gives the impression of a large ship moving in between two barriers.
