I like to paint expressively, gesturally, with intense colors on canvas, preferably on canvas that I have primed myself. I like to work on the canvas several times so that it has structure and liveliness as a surface, which also has a different texture than the composition of the finished painting. I prefer to work with sugar ink in my etchings, also in combination with aquatint, because this brings something "uncontrolled" to the prints, which are very workable. Painting: Oil and acrylic on canvas, also in mixed media with pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, oil and pastels Engraving: engravings, partly in collage form or recolored
