Ghost Town Doel, Belgium
A Bucket-list thing… the abandoned town Doel, just above Antwerp in Belgium. From the moment I left the ring road of Antwerp it became more and more quiet on the…
La Croix-Rousse, Lyon
For most off the people, who’re driving to their holiday locations in South France or Spain, Lyon is a well-known city. Not always in a positive way because the “Route du Soleil” is going straight through this town…
Alternative Digbeth, Birmingham
Birmingham in a nutshell….A beautiful and attractive city center, but it’s really sad in the suburbs. It just seems like there are no trash cans at all, litter on every squared meter. The reason of my visit to England’s 2nd town…
NDSM-wharf Amsterdam

ABOUT ME…
Art lover in heart and soul, especially if it is made with paint. Beside the classical paintings the Realism and (post) Impressionism appeals to me the most. Some painters who belong to my favorites are Paul Gauguin, John Constable, Paul Cézanne, Jan van Huysum and of course jheronimus bosch… from my Hometown. Most of these paintings are hanging in famous galleries around the world.
The masters of these times… the Street Art creators. What those people can do with a spray can… amazing! Ugly empty walls and buildings are rising up as beautiful Eye-catchers. And where the paintings of our grandmasters are safe and guarded, the creations on these walls can be fitted with a new art work after a few days … how bizarre is that. My hobby beside being a designer is to travel, write and make photo’s of it… #streetartaddict.
