Multiple Personality

Images Nicholas Cairns, Kai Z Feng, Pierre Debusschere

This series perfectly illustrates my current state of mind. Torn apart between opportunities and obligations, convictions and locations. I am also still confused by the movie Duplicity and Clive Owen's adorable accent.

Namesake

Photos Horst P Horst

Finally a tribute to the beautiful work of Horst P Horst that has been long time overdue. Gracious nymphes in black and white. Precise still life compositions. Architecural male nude portraits.

Holistic Triptych II

Top Pierre Cardin, Suit 1979
Center Theo van Doesburg, Arithmetic Composition 1930
Bottom Vico Magistretti, Kuta Table 1978

A suit, a painting, a lamp. The triangle, the circle, the square. A man could reduce his belongings in life to these three things. And their endless variation/combination/repetition.

Plakatkunst

I have a thing for printed matter. As an indeniably logic consequence, I compiled a random selection of my favourite image/text compositions. Especially for you.

Fundamental Rule

The golden rule of geometry. A strict and fundamental colour code. Applied to three- and two-dimensional spaces.

Flowers And More

Artist Nobuyoshi Araki

This time I skip the nudity part (what a Horst surprise) and focus on the withered and broken. The vulnerable and injured. The beauty of fugaciousness. Araki captures a poetic and intense feeling, still with a sexual connotation, but evolving into more subtle ways of expression.

Constructed Landscapes

Photos Maurice Scheltens

This is pure beauty. Maurice Scheltens is ingenious. A subtle observer and creator of stunning sceneries. Always on the edge to chic trashiness. No matter what material he works with, his objects transform into breathing, artificial beings.

Style Illustrated Pt.I

Maybe one year ago I started working on a little series of illustrations that I would like to share with you. Key to these images is the composition of shapes and colors. For me it's often the colors that make an oufit perfect. It's like painting. And sometimes it's about taking the risk to mismatch, leaving all rules behind and creating an unique 'Stil'. The combination of 80s red/mustard yellow/petrol blue is one of my all-time favorites.

Stay colored!
