About The Artwork

I love to create a dialogue with art history, reinterpreting classic imagery through a contemporary lens. This painting, Mocking of Christ, inserts a modern spectator directly into the chaotic scene of Matthias Grünewald’s 1503 masterpiece, where a blindfolded Jesus is tormented by a grotesque looking crowd.

Instead of intervening, the modern figure casually holds up his smartphone to film the entire episode transforming a human tragedy into digital content and quietly joining the ranks of the historical mockers. It goes to show that human cruelty is of all times and that there's no limit to what we do to each other. But it doesn't have to be like that.

About the artist

I create colorful and highly detailed works of art to express my love for the modern human as well as my concerns about contemporary society. Above all I hope to inspire people to stay human and loving. My hyperreal paintings show people on the streets, in stores, public transport and museums or zoom in on popular products.

For me, the glimpses of everyday live are important as they say a whole lot about today's society. They show the way people see themselves, how they interact or are influenced in various ways by modern developments. I observe it, enlarge it and paint it. Time freezes and our fast and busy lives are forever captured in a moment. Finally ready to be observed quietly.

I have been a professional and international acclaimed artist for over 25 years well known for my distinctive style of realist painting. My work can be found in museums, galleries, and private collections all over the world (6 continents, 35 countries). My paintings have been exhibited alongside those of the greatest names in art history at leading art fairs in Europe and the United States.

I've studied painting and fine art at the School of Arts Minerva in the Netherlands, specializing in meticulous form of realistic painting. I live in Leeuwarden, but grew up in Makkum where I now have my studio.
