During the last
20 years, I became more and more interested in ‘dance’, ‘rhythm’ and ‘the
movement of the human figure’, and how to capture one single moment out of
these actions. It interested me to express this moment not only in a
figurative way but also in an abstract way. Such a ‘movement of the human
figure’ for me is a real event which I want to express as one abstract
sensation, in colors and in shapes. My style has become more and more
abstract, incontestable influenced by the new digital media. Capturing a
movement of dance in its whole on video, is a very interesting way of
finding inspiration in all of these successive and different poses. They
keep impressing me over and over again, as a never ending action in life…
