I guess I was always interested on how society expresses the thoughts and ideas of their era in the way it shapes the urban environment, in architecture and landscaping. At times houses in my paintings are sort of a metaphor for the unique identity of each of us, maybe different in colour of detail but always recognizable as a house, as a place to live with unique colours. At times my paintings reflect on history. For instance in recent paintings with the theme of the terraced houses of dutch cities. But mostly I paint projecting my own ideas.
