To be

To be

Every person should be able to make their own choises in life and be safe to do so. Limiting women rights is pointless and unacceptable.

One of my earliest sources of inspiration is the work of Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980). In her time, she was a very progressive artist. In a beautifully polished Art Deco style she painted mostly independent women. These women were the inspiration for my work Love me tender.
We all wish for more love and tolerance towards each other in the world. These two girls, both from different origine, and in love with each other, need it even more.

No Return

No Return

An old lady is waiting. With unseeing eyes she stares at the horizon. Where she came from is unknown, en where she should go she does not know.

Every day people all over the world for different reasons are forced to leave everything they know, and sometimes every one they love behind. Their lives change for ever because they have to leave home.
