Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about my sustainable artworks made from recycled materials, commissioned art, and limited edition prints.
What makes your artworks special?

My artworks are made from thousands of pieces of residual and waste materials. Think of plastic caps, toys, cables, packaging, flip-flops, plugs, broken clothespins, and other materials that are usually thrown away.

From a distance, you see an image, portrait, or composition. Up close, you discover a world of recognizable objects. Larger works sometimes contain 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of material.

Each piece is collected by hand, cleaned, sorted, cut or sawn to size, and placed millimeter by millimeter. This is how sustainable mixed media art from recycled materials is created.
How is a work of art created from waste material?

Every artwork begins with a sketch on wood. Then I paint the base with acrylic paint. After that, the most time-consuming process begins: collecting, cleaning, sorting, cutting, and arranging thousands of pieces of material. Only when everything is visually correct do I attach the materials piece by piece by hand. Creating one artwork usually takes weeks to sometimes months.
Where do the materials for your art come from?

I collect many materials myself, for example on beaches, while traveling, or in daily life. In addition, cafes, restaurants, and friends help by saving things like plastic caps or packaging materials. I also receive materials from healthcare: packaging from medical supplies that are left over after operations and cannot be reused. In this way, materials that would normally be discarded are given a second life in a unique work of art made from sustainable waste.
What inspires you to work with waste?

During my travels through more than 50 countries, I saw the beauty of nature everywhere, but also more and more waste. At one point, I realized that waste is actually also material: material with color, form, and character. My mission is to make people look differently at waste, materials, and value.
Where are your artworks displayed?

My artworks are now displayed in many different places: in private homes, businesses, hotels, restaurants and cafés, and galleries. I collaborate with several galleries both domestically and abroad that share my mission regarding sustainability and circular art.

My work can now be found in, among others: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Norway, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.
How large are your artworks?

My works range from smaller pieces of around 40 × 40 cm to large statement pieces of 200 × 120 cm or larger. Larger works can incorporate tens of thousands of pieces of material.
Do you also create commissioned artwork?

Yes. Commissioned art is an important part of my work. In many commissions, I incorporate personal objects, such as jewellery, children's toys, materials with emotional value, and objects with a personal or family history. This way, not only is a work of art created, but also a tangible story full of memories.
Do you also create artworks for businesses, hotels, or restaurants?

Yes, I regularly create custom artworks for businesses and hospitality venues such as hotels and restaurants. These works often align with: the company's story, brand identity, sustainability and innovation, an anniversary (e.g., a 50th anniversary), a company logo, or a visual concept. This creates a unique and meaningful statement piece for a space.
How much does an artwork cost?

The price depends on size and complexity. Original artworks start at €4,000. Limited edition prints range from €95 for a poster to €1,500 for a large framed canvas edition.
Is it possible to view an artwork in person?

Yes, there are several ways to do so. My work is regularly exhibited in galleries, at exhibitions, in hotels, restaurants, and other locations where my work is displayed. Additionally, you are welcome by appointment in my studio. My studio is located on my houseboat near Amsterdam, in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.
How can I purchase a work of art or discuss a commission?

You can easily get in touch via the contact form on this website, WhatsApp or, for example, Instagram. I always respond personally and as quickly as possible.
Can I reserve a work of art or try it out?

Yes, that is possible. An artwork can be reserved in consultation. Sometimes a trial placement of about a week is also possible, so you can experience how the work feels in the space.
How is an artwork shipped?

Depending on the artwork, I opt for personal delivery. Other works are professionally packaged with the utmost care and shipped insured. I am also personally involved in these transports, so that every artwork arrives safely and in perfect condition.
Do you also offer creative art workshops?

Yes, I offer creative upcycled art workshops for groups of friends, families, companies, teams, or other groups – everyone is welcome. During a workshop, you'll create your own artwork from waste materials. It's often a surprising experience; people discover how creative waste can actually be.

My eBook, which will provide step-by-step instructions on how to create your own upcycled artwork at home, will be released soon.
