I'm a 48 year-old Dutchman, born in Sâo Paulo, Brazil. From the age of 12 to 17 I studied Dance at The Conservatory in The Hague. Until recently I worked as maître in the hospitality industry in Rotterdam, the city where I live. I’m a self-taught painter and I'm inspired by bright and colourful combinations. My work is modern, colourful and abstract on both large and small canvasses. The themes often relate to Brazil and its beautiful cities. Most of my paintings are made with acrylic ​on canvas in combination with markers, pencils, ink or oil pastel.
