EVERY WINDOW IS A WIDESCREEN TV

About Me


I was born on Friday the 13th 1972, in Terneuzen, The Netherlands. Now I live in the state of Denial, which is situated between Rotterdam and SellFable City. I am a painter and graphic artist. I also like to build things. My influences come from day to day life and its annoying invisible restrictions and unavoidable impressions. I am amazed by human behaviour and often confused by it.
