Lives and works in Reet, Belgium

I live and work in Reet, Belgium, where I have my studio. I trained in painting at the art academy of Sint-Niklaas.

Many of my series start from things that caught my imagination when I was young: the cycling races of my youth, the Apollo launches. These days I am more drawn to the banal in everyday things, always with a wink. I have a strong affinity with abandoned and slightly mysterious places.
