I always perceived the world in a multi-dimensional way, where color, sound, shapes and concepts, numbers, letters and sensations where connected with each other. I have a neurologic condition called synesthesia in where sounds can have colors and shapes. Babies have it also when they are born, but loose it over time. I found a way to express myself and share this sensation! That's why it's really special to me.
I have a huge passion for color and shapes. As a kid I loved playing with anything I could lay my hands on. When we got a computer, I was totally addicted to MS Paint. That never changed, although my skills and software I use changed over time. It gave me the chance to express myself in new ways.
I started New Energy Art in 2008 when I was 24. I loved to share my art with others and this was the perfect way to do it. People started to ask me if I sold my artworks. All over the world people wanted my art for their private collections. I started to create cards first. Over time my digital art was printed on bigger and bigger canvas, posters and prints and I finetuned the process.
Back than I was still working and studying, but now I'm a full time artist, writer and coach, at the age of 28. I often wondered: what will I be when I grow up? Now I know I will be me, that I don't fit in one box. I play with different things, but artist would come close to describe me. Even when I'm doing groceries I look at food as art, and I imagine how I can use the color or shape in my expressions. For me it's a way of living. Sharing all the worlds, colors, galaxies I see in my minds eye. It's like bringing an entire fantasy world alive and being able to invite others in that world.
I find it very special to create personal artworks for customers. I create Soul Pictures as a personal artwork, a reflection of the character or soul of someone. It's really special and a privilage to make an artwork for a new born baby to welcome it on earth.
I just loved wrapping my art and sending it to the post office. It's so romantic, knowing it will travel in airplanes, with cars over sometimes idealic landscapes, to be delivered at your doorstep. All the way from the Netherlands, Rosmalen where I live to you!
I just can't imagine a better live than being able to share my expressions with you all. I'm blessed and grateful and I hope I can inspire you with my explosion of color!
