Photography was my first love

I started black-and-white analogue photography, attended workshops on traditional photographic techniques, and explored developing my own colour film and prints. I also carried out photoshoots for theatre productions, food, reproductions and weddings.
I also had a lot of fun exploring Fine Art photography, taking materials from nature and creating stills.

Sculpturing

Besides photography, I also took courses of sculpturing with various teachers (10 years), including Jeanne Buijtels (Best) and Hester Pilz (Oirschot).
This helped me too look at objects with light and shadow, spaces, texture, details and the essence over detail.

Foto-Art

At some point, I got bored with technical perfect large format black & white images of landscapes. Later i discovered that I was missing a way to express myself through the images. This is the point where Foto-Art was started.
I found this missing link in a course where a teacher from an art academy took us to the next level to communicate through the image. At this moment we still come together every 2 months to discuss about the work and project we are working on without a teacher.

Mixed Media 

After a work-related burnout in the IC-T sector, decided to search the artist inside of me. 
In 2023, I started a 5 years education Mixed Media at the Art Academy in Arendonk (Belgium).
This helped me to work on projects using all kind of materials and to expand my creativity.

Now

Working on projects where photography and mixed media are merged together to create a message. 
I still am working on the academy, which is a joy for life.
