I am 42 years young and was born in Boxmeer in the Netherlands. I have been living in the province of Limburg, with my parents, older brother and twin sister all this time. Three years ago, my partner and I bought my parental home where I grew up, and my parents came to live in a care home at the back of our garden. I studied at Sint Lucas College in Boxtel. I have been more active with painting for two years now. That's how I started painting portraits of dear people who are no longer in our or my friends' lives. My style is a mix of abstract and pop art. I do this on request.
