I was born in 1967 and am
currently living and working

From 1989 until 2004 I
attended drawing, painting and
video classes at the academies
of Bruges, Anderlecht and
Ostend. During the period from
1993 until 1997 I did a
masters in Philosophy,
specializing in esthetics.
From 2004 onwards I started
showing my work to the public
on a regular basis.
At this moment in time I make
oil paintings and
video-installations.

is essential to me. Recently I

seascapes, mainly because the
impervious and endless nature
of the ocean strongly appeals

esthetics reference is made to
the "sublime" in order to
express the spiritual
experience of the Absolute
when man is confronted with
nature in its vastness.
In my videowork I try to
materialize concepts and
sensibilities that are more
difficult to process in
painting. I hereby combine
video and painting in order to
create a "fusion" of both
media - the projected image
and the painted surface or
object are made to merge,
until the point where both
cannot be distinguished
anymore and a new ...
