I was studying painting with acrylics when I was only 19 years old. This painting shows an odd simularity with 'Portraits of Bonaire' 35 years later. |

Next to working as an art director I wanted to show my skills in drawing. This is an example of pointilism. But in the seventies realism was not very popular. |

My first mural in Bonaire. Quite different from my early works, but this is how I discovered 'flat coloring'. |

The first portrait in flat colors - with cartoonlike outlines. (Illustration to the first story in Portraits of Bonaire.) |

The first portrait without outlines: hard edge color against color. From here I've developed consequently my own style. I call it 'stylized reality'. |
