Sometimes you know you’ve found something worth exploring. That’s how ROOTS feels to me. Everything I’ve learned over the past twenty years – as a photographer, writer, painter, and as a person – comes together in this series. Throughout August, a selection of these paintings will be on view at Kunstkelder Putten.

Not because photography lost its place in my life, but because I discovered that painting gives me the freedom to explore what truly resonates with me. While photography captures a moment, painting allows me to shape a story beyond what is visible.
