I’m totally blown away by the amazing voice and performance of Shana. Saw her live at BIRD Rotterdam. #music #livemusic #indi #pop youtu.be/lPCn1-PLINE

This week I finished this oil painting. It tells the story of growing up bicultural in the Dutch post colonial time. Trying to be as white al possible this Surinam jaguar doesn’t fit in, not in the jungle, not in the Netherlands. #oilpainting #suriname #bicultural

This see through mirror is called ‘this person is not broken. You can see yourself, and if two people take place on each side of the mirror they can even see each other as well as themselves through the broken glass. #art #mirror #selfreflection

The text is written in reverse, so you have to look in a mirror to read it; when you're standing with your back towards the portrait. my father and grandmother choose to migrate to the Netherlands and raise their children as Dutch as possible. Yet, it was never my choice to turn my back on my roots.

Yesterday we created this giant 7 metres long dragon for Michaelmas with over 1100 middle and high school students. All of them made one of the scales from an empty milk carton and wrote down how they personally overcome their fears. #art #michaelmas #waldorf #dragon

Made this holographic video to honour my dad. It’s really easy. You need a plastic pyramid to place on your phone and video that is mirrored 4 times. Had so much fun making this. #art #hologram

It was an amazing experience (specially for an art history teacher like myself) to learn to paint fresco like the old masters in the beautiful city of Florence.

This piece was inspired by the creation of Adam of the great master Michelangelo Buonaroti. I’ve created a mosaic that depicts 500 different animals. This is my way to ask you the question what makes humans different from other animals. #art #mosaic

Created a giant dragon for Michaelmas at the Waldorf high school I work at. In total it will be 6 meters long. I had a lot of fun with the head, especially the eyes. Its scales are made from empty milk cartons. #art #michaelmas #waldorf #dragon

Transfer on wood. Just having fun with art. #art

Mixed media self portrait. The images of the heron and keys tell the story better than I could with words. #art #mixedmedia #portrait

Just had to draw the beauty in these dead flowers. #drawing #art #flowers

Mixed media artwork for a lovely friend who recently got divorced. Spread your wings and fly! #art #mixedmedia

I love this linoleum print of my daughter and Ganache the donkey that escorted us on our 3 day hike trough the Pyrenees. #printing #art

I always bring a pocket sized sketchbook and a fine liner to draw the things I see. #drawing #sketchbook #art

I painted this for a friend who lives next to a nature reserve. The bittern is a mysterious bird, but unfortunately, it's on the red list in the Netherlands. I love its call. Acrylic on canvas, 100x100 cm #bittern #bird #painting #art

I love the little streets in Haarlem (Netherlands). This one is definitely one of my favorites. I drew it in my sketchbook while sitting on the sidewalk. #drawing #sketchbook #art #Haarlem

The mandarin duck came to the Netherlands as garden decoration for the rich. Some of them managed to escape. Do you think we should not move animals all across the world just for our pleasure? 100x100 acrylic on canvas #duck #bird #painting #art

The European Turtle Dove is a red list bird. Due to agricultural changes its population is declining. Acrylic on canvas 100x100 cm. #painting #birds #art

Uli was a rescued bear that found happiness after years of abuse. She inspired me to make this drawing. #animals#drawing#art

Painted this hornbill a while ago. Did you know that due to deforestation it gets harder and harder to find a tree to build a nest in. Hornbills choose the thicker trees, which are now very difficult to find.

My two in one art piece of a mother’s love for her children. 90x130 cm, acrylic on wood.
