Many have helped me on my path and I will thank a few.

First I will mention Lex Wechgelaar. He gave me insight into conceptual art. That was in the 80s during my time at the Vrije Academie, also called Psychopolis, in the Hague. It was more of an asylum than a regular art academy and that suited me because I was mentally unbalanced at that time.
I also mention: Rudie Rooijackers and Philip Peters.

Someone I may not forget is Shihan Té, an American master in the ancient water ways of self-defense. I met him during his European tour in the 90s. He was or is an extraordinary teacher; he taught me how to defend myself mentally and physically. His lessons were nothing less than phenomenal. I owe him eternal gratitude.

This site wil have many micro updates for some time. For the duch part the process will be incremental. The englisch part will go nearly black soon for a few months. There will be no announcement when it is finished. In the end there will be only silence and stability.

There are a few rules for using my work:

• The use of digital images for personal use is permitted, but only on screen.
• It is also permitted to print a work for personal use, but only on normal paper up to a maximum of A3 size.

Below are two of my works. A photo from 2019, only slightly edited and a "self-portrait with painting" from 2023.

For the self-portrait I owe gratitude to the Mauritshuis, they took care of the technical side and made it available to anyone who wanted to make a special selfie. (c) all rights reserved, WHAM
