I was born in Wilrijk, Antwerpen in 1957. I have a grandmother and a father who painted. I like to draw, and people say that I draw well. I received an open-air easel around the age of 15 and I produced paintings inspired by Impressionism by painting on the ground. I then paint from imagination, changing the colors of the characters as I see fit. I give them an abstract background. It's not really great but it allows me to go into preparatory school at Saint-Luc Brussels. My father wanted us to first do our classical humanities, Latin-mathematics..."afterwards you can do what you want".. but he thinks about architecture for me. I like painting. I especially like art that is useless... it's a long road.
