After this exceptional summer we have new and exciting ideas and simply want to usher a post-pandemic era. That "reset feeling" was the main reason for me to create this painting. So I started a canvas that radiates an intensely fresh and energetic feeling. A composition where the blue colors of a cloudless sky give an extra bit of subtile joy. A work that is universally pleasing. The painting "Fresh Flowers" is part of the Flower Series (Other Stories). Size 39-32 inch, 100-80 cm.

Master Florist Menno Kroon is widely known for creating living interiors. The vibrant color compositions of flowers and other intuitively chosen accessories are his trademark. His must-see atelier in the Cornelis Schuytstraat in Amsterdam is a true eye opener. Being inside simply feels almost magical. It is full of "Instagrammable moments". With this painting I wanted to express the pure brightness and exuberance of his unique store and let the flowers be the hero.

Nice to know. This summer I will join Menno Kroon in his store with a selection of my flower paintings. The paintings are part of a complete new and colorful theme.

Size 39-47 inch, 100-120 cm

I made this new painting to show that open spaces in Amsterdam are becoming more and more scarce. These spaces are literally a relief. So I put the famous Concert Hall back in its original environment. In the middle of a pasture, where it was built in 1888. To see how that feels and to highlight its beauty differently. Size 32-39 inch, 80-100 cm.

Presenting a new & vivid painting "Joy". Because we need some in this extraordinary period of time... Size 47-32 inch, 100-80 cm.
