“Quo Vadis?” is about my search in life. Following a path, exploring my interior through ‘selfies avant-la-lettre’, the self-portroids (1982-1994) and exploring the outside through transiting unknown paths, the ‘Quo Vadis’ (1987-now). I am an explorer of my own life, a traveler in time and space, always looking for a new horizon, somewhere better?
When I step out of my house which lies hidden in a small valley and climb up our first hill, I come to open fields. On my morning walks I often walk around these fields, which always look different at all stages of all seasons. My latest exhibition is a homage to these fields. With fragments … More Ploughed Fields and Borrowed Words
In the making of this new (4th) series of diptychs of Ronda I had no preconceived idea of what I wanted to tell. With the three previous series of diptychs of the Serranía of Ronda I always looked for a common thread, a theme in the making of my images. This time I let go … More Diptychs of Ronda ‘Associations’
DIPTYCHS OF RONDA III Part of the exhibition ‘Going Solo’ is the third in the series ‘Diptychs of Ronda’ With these diptychs I am trying to create new images based on the merging of two unrelated photographs, taken at different times and for different reasons. For the diptychs I frequently use scale enlargements/reductions. The fusion … More Diptychs of Ronda ‘Rocks and stones’
Alentejo for me is vast fields with solitary holm oaks that cast wide shadows. Alentejo is goats and cows resting in those wide shadows. Alentejo is narrow roads with dazzlingly beautiful eucalyptus trees on the side. Alentejo is hills with symmetrical rows of olive trees. Alentejo is storks, majestically sitting on their big nests on top … More Alentejo Revisited
This morning, as many mornings, we went for a walk just straight from our house. My head was filled with worries, same old same old, money things. But the longer I walked the more I felt disconnected to that ‘silly thing called economy’. I fled into reality.. Another spring has come and we’re still here. No, we … More Flight into Reality
Through these photographs I want to show my fascination with the environment. I live in the countryside and every morning when I wake up I see the vast beauty of my surroundings. Sometimes I want to zoom in and investigate what lies within that vastness. Where does one see the hand of men, and when … More Come closer (Nature Speaks)
With the heat of the summer, gone is the juicy green. The land is plowed and shows its bare brown belly The hay is dry and ready to be cut or spread around like big yellow dice thrown out from the sky The vines are vibrantly green, while the aniseed plants are blossoming in soft … More A summer blanket
During a period of nearly ten years (2000-2009) I have photographed ‘objects’ in the countryside. Objects best described as trash, garbage, junk, litter, scrap, debris or waste. Objects that in fact should not have been where they were. They don’t blend in. They often do not decompose and stay where I found them for many … More Still Life
During various travels to Australia I have visited the heart of Central Australia, the sacred site of Uluru, also know as Ayer’s Rock. Since my first visit I have been ‘enchanted’ by it’s mystical powers. How could I not be. When I arrived for the first time in 1987, all alone in a borrowed car, … More Uluru base walk
