Statement

After working for 10 years in Trade and Industry, in 1990, I decided to make works of art and to become an artist.
In order to understand the meaning and importance of Contemporary Art, I studied history of art for 4 years, from 1990 until 1994.
Also, in that particular time, I have been working together with another artist from Utrecht, who was my teacher, in order to obtain the necessary skills in drawing, painting, etching, and other disciplines, and to develop my own "pictorial language".
My admiration is for the narrative art and technical proficiency of Rembrandt, especially because of the Brilliant light/dark aspect in his work, for the renaissance artist. "Michelangelo", because of his Brilliant colours and for the baroque art of Rubens, because of his phenomenal compositions.
More modern artists who I admire, because of the dramatic aspect in their work, are Anselm Kiefer, Enzo Cucchi and Sigmar Polke.

>

"Strophes of Sappho" ( 1983 ) - 5 postludes for Guitar solo ( with a possible narration before each Postlude ) is wonderfully played by Gregory "Grisha" Nisnevich and recorded by him on his CD ( Denver CO, USA ) . In the design there are used several paintings by a very talented artist Margareth Degeling ( Holland ) as a leit-motif through the whole composition . Published by Editions Orphee ( USA ) "Strophes" have become a very popular composition and one can find some different performances on YouTube and the Din A4 Video page.
