For the past 20 years, he's been taking his bicycle cart on hikes, not to brave the elements, but rather to use them to nourish his perception of the landscape stretching out before him. "I feel the changes in atmosphere, the direct light and the vast spaces. They give me a sense of joy." - He paints in the woods or on Groningen's High Land, where he has lived since 1999. He knows how to transform his experiences of nature into meaningful color harmonies. He himself speaks of "the desire to be able to satisfy the joy of my eye". His appearance and his cart are reminiscent of a Jackson Pollock action painting. The artist, the paint, the canvas and the cart blend completely into the landscape, which he paints in his own inimitable way.
