With these questions in mind, I start my adventure with the visual arts. I explore the possibilities of painting and the 'process of seeing'. Rather than looking at paintings as a finished product, I wonder how and why images 'do things to us'.

In the chronology I give a brief overview of my work. The pictorial transposition of 'ways of seeing' is the main theme of my œuvre. Painting cannot take the place of reality or refer to it since there is no original 'reality'. The paintings are orientation points, reflections based on synaesthetic experiences, self-made realities, images of an image of an image, of an image. . .

I use painting as a source of visual knowledge. My point of departure could come from anywhere, from personal perception, sensory fusion, nature, the thing-as-an-object or images in the media. I expand the conceptual limits of the senses as well as those of the mind.
I work with two dimensions, the visual and the conceptual. I paint an existential tension between:

—  vision, image, reality
—  mind, media, meaning

The paintings and drawings are far closer to poetry than to theory. In 'Museums of the Mind' I extended my pictorial language, exploring the space of the image.
