CURRENTLY WORKING AND LIVING IN HOPEFIELD ON THE WEST COAST, SOUTH AFRICA
About:
It has been his goal from a very young age to attain the knowledge of the Old Masters Flemish painting techniques.
Incorporating different techniques gives him a more direct emotional connection to the subject matter, creating a continuous flow of tones, and therefore achieving depth and character.
He received his Diploma at Freiburger Grafic Schule studying Graphic Design in Germany (2000) where he resided for 10 years. He studied analytical and figure drawing in depth.
He is a self-taught oil painter, using his raw talent, determination to succeed, and many hours in front of the canvas producing soul touching artworks.
