Symbolism
Also in my figurative paintings is much symbolism processed. But sometimes I make a painting in wich I wants to express. Depending on what keeps me busy. For example: Inspiration, strength, grief and emotions such as sadness, anger and joy. Your ' being ' in life. Faith and spirituality. Figurative to abstract. .

Movements
2014
Every move affects another.
Whether in work or people-to-people contacts, relations between countries or in environment, which process whatsoever. It just goes on and on.
Call a positive response to love and commitment, indifference another.
In this painting, it goes around. The movement starts somewhere, and gives the other by.
Take your pick which you initiated, by movement or want to stop.
This painting can rotate in all directions and you can hang it different.

Vulnerable soul
2014
Vulnerable soul
Tar, sensitive is your heart. Trampled. Damaged. Protect her. Against attacks, dark and pain. Be carefull and let grow back. Gently. Hope.
There she stands!
2014There she is. In weather and wind, moved up from the valley up on the rock. Sturdy, ferm and elegant. Not to get small. Focused on the light they come in late and her heats.
diner of peace
2013
The reason for this painting is the signing of peace, Utrecht, 1713 ·
Colorful Connection-(from) all trades · painted to a print about the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713. Vrij interpreted from the ingredients from our current society.
· For me peace is searching for connection of souls. Do not look at differences but what unites us.
Anno 1713: masses of immigrants in Utrecht. Working on peace. Voltage, connection, new balance. Flags symbolize the countries present. The size of the flag State for their power.
Anno 2013: as people have each a different background. In addition, many cultures part of our society. We share as people life, symbolized in the meal. Twinning. An infinite table. Place for everyone. In multicolored individuality. After all, deep down we all share the same desires.
Incident light that about table and people shines. Symbol for the Light for which and-by we all are one. Party, relax, dance, peace, pleasure.
No swords anymoren, join us and feast!
Origin - Alpha and Omega
2013
Origin precedes the ... Beginning without end. Eternity.
Coming from and absorbed in-the light.
Fusion of two poles. There is something human. Creation.
Secure embedded. In good hands.
Life flows from there. How does it run?
Something new comes to fruition. Over and over again. In Cycles. Individuality in colors and shape.

Pain
2013
Sharp points – hard points. Bloody heart. Dark – with a colourful past – dark places. Trauma, events, what do people do to each other? Vague, unknown future. Living with wounds. A dark hole – with a little color. Never lost hope?
A small wolkerig line to above ...
Mourning
2013
Vertaling Mourning
Lost. Black. Grey Colorless. End of teh road: a wall stops you. Nothing is right anymore. Dead end. You can't get over it,or under it. It holds you. A trap.
Bald – rags. All the joy, all sense of honour, is gone. Sadness, angry, impotence, the future seems off.
Bent or broken?
Only a trace of through-flowing light by what missing stones in the wall.
Flame
2013
Life – heat – fire. Light and catharsis.
Flowing. From the inside out. A little spark kindles to, and is to a large fire.
If there is only fuel is fire cross against the wind (can't – happened anyway) – air flow. In wooden List
targeted or out of the source
2012
On road up to it, or are you comin out of the source? The dual-direction can be seen.
Right on the target off ... Powerful and efficient!
But sometimes the path to the goal as a pilgrimage through the side tracks, take what comes your way, and watching details. Certainly as valuable and fascinating. Perhaps even richer ...

Icoon 'The Angel'
2012
Icons refer to Saints and their lives that inspiring and an example is.
You could only get an Angel on business. So important are people apparently for God.
Angels life between God and humans. Between heaven and Earth. They permit a piece of heaven see and experience. They give important messages and protect. Offer an advisory service and comfort.
Sometimes they come straight from the sky. Sometimes people close by.
In this image: the Angel embraces with its protective wings. A red dress for love. The hotel is luxurious, knowing and loving hands outstretched to you. He is there where needed!
Icon Maria Magdalena
2012
Icons refer to Saints and their lives that inspiring and is an example.
Maria Magdalena giving her soul and salvation. She was pretty and rehabilitated by Jesus.
In this picture she Anoints the feet of washes and her beloved friend. She dries them with her hair. They can give itself she is healed.
The foot-washing: one of the most beautiful stories because it is about me can give are passed (received).
It's about dust off washing, refresh.
Love to serve. In deeds. So we can do the good people for each other!
In this example, a blue cloth, like the other Mary, the mother of Jesus (another species, particularly strong, love: from mother to child). Blue: bright as the air and rein (become).
Loose hair under the traditional head covering. Mary Magdalene does this from the Jewish use but makes a free interpretation thereof. Love goes beyond the tradition.
Phoenix
2007
This bird is being reborn (in cyclic time period) from its own ashes.
Chunks of broken walls, of safe houses.
Water, sadness, flows. From the inside out.
Liberating. Rinsing clean.
Consuming and cathartic fire. Light fire what dark road prints.
In addition to the running water in the depths of the man fiery sources.
Urging to resurrect and remain standing up, forever!
Again and again in a new opportunity. In list
Anger
2004Anger! Impotent anger, angry about injustice. A violent emotion!
