About me
Hans lives in Haarlem, the Netherlands, and had an education at the Art Academy Haarlem Leiden.
The sources of inspiration of his paintings and drawings are very divers. It can be a personal event, a selfmade or found image, a story, the lyrics of a song, etc. In short, he gets inspired by life itself.
Hans mainly paints landscapes, people and urban spaces.
During the working process observation and imagination complement each other in every possible way and they reinforce each other untill the point is reached that he conludes the painting is finished
The human figures in enclosed spaces fascinate but often have a sort of discomfort and mysterious about them and can evoke a feeling of alienation.
The urban pictures breathe a desolate atmosphere.
The nature- and landscape-paintings are the result of a never ending search for beauty of our natural living environment that come more and more under pressure.
