At first glance "Amsterdam Ceiling Fan" (60 x 60 cm) shows a familiar Amsterdam scene, canal houses and bridges. But quietly floating above it all, a ceiling fan.I made this work to reflect on the growing tension between urban life and environmental change. “Amsterdam Ceiling Fan” refers to the so called Urban Heat Island effect. Cities like Amsterdam trapping heat and amplifying temperatures. A phenomenon that will only increase with climate change. The bright colours and restless waves in the canal symbolise that something is shifting. The scene may seem playful at first, but there’s an underlying urgency. Well, even the most familiar places are changing. Weather we notice it or not.

From Gouden Bocht (Herengracht) to the Zuidas, this new piece (100-100 cm) shows how Amsterdam keeps growing in business but still stays true to its roots.

100 meters above Amsterdam, I'll be showing my latest paintings. A rare opportunity to experience my work in a unique setting high above the city. Away from noise.

Address: Symphony Tower (26th floor), Gustav Mahlerplein 3-117 (Zuidas) Amsterdam. Day and Time: Saturday, June 14, 10.00 - 17.00. FREE ENTRY.

This new piece (80-100 cm) is part of Seasons on the Green Lawn. A series that captures the seasons in quiet, familiar moments. The painting reflect the feeling of winter. So, the two red chairs sit side by side, lightly covered in snow, facing out across the quiet lawn. This figure in jeans and bright sneakers pulls a sled away, just the edge of a story. Above, snow gently tumbles from the branches of a tree, stirred by a breeze. It's a small moment, but something is happening. That quiet energy in winter, the hush, the breath, the stillness before more footsteps.

With "Drifting Into Autumn", I wanted to capture the beauty of a bright, colorful autumn afternoon, where time slows and simple moments take center stage. This new piece is part of my "Seasons on the Green Lawn" series, celebrating the changing seasons in a lighthearted, feel-good way.
