On Saturday, June 9, 2018 I will participate with the Open Ateliers day in Carbon6 with several other artists.

During the Open Studio Day visitors can enjoy handmade products and art. The creative entrepreneurs like to explain their work and answer all your questions.

In addition, visitors can enjoy work from guest exhibitors and the Chopin coffee corner is opened with delicious coffee with a treat or a well-stocked sandwich.

Also take a look? You are most welcome on Saturday 9 June from 11 am - 5 pm at Carbon6, department XCBS (next to the reception), Kloosterweg 1, 6412 CN in Heerlen.

Recently I made a black and white painting of ZZ TOP 2017 (120x80cm). I also painted a mannequin again. It remains a challenge to do this.

During our stay in Porto (Portugal) in spring of 2016 we acquainted with a special Portuguese man, Ramiro Salgado. While we were shopping we arrived in a small but cozy cheese adjoining Port shop (Saboriccia) . Ramiro, the owner, was very enthusiastic and took us straight on. He was so excited that we recorded very quickly and were considered friends. During the weekend we often visited him and we had many dinners together in the city of Porto. As promised I made a portrait of him and his girlfriend. This month (February 2017) we are flying to Porto to deliver the painting to him in person.

They started their business building carriages and making furniture. At this moment they also do carpeting, window decorations, blinds and sell furniture. That is, in a nutshell, the 101-year history of the family business Eurlings Interiors in Voerendaal. Dozens of urban explorers, artists and creators were inspired by the past. The old carpentry served as the backdrop for photography, installation and paintings.
Also, I was asked to give my views on the nostalgic joinery of this old carpentry. That is why I made two paintings that are currently featured in the mini-museum in the showroom Eurlings Interiors.
1. Rusty butterfly nut
2. Weathered door
