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…
The Grunge Style of El Raval, Barcelona
For a small city trip to Barcelona with wife and children I was searching for a nice small hotel. Not top off the bill but just a budget one and central located.
NDSM-wharf Amsterdam
From 1920 to 1984 this warf was one of the largest in the world, gigantic ships rolled down the ramp. The large warehouses and imposing factory buildings give the NDSM-wharf squares and surrounding streets its raw look…
Oldskool Rail Tunnel, Boxtel
The location is an old railway tunnel called ‘Duits Lijntje’ located beneath the A2 between Boxtel and Liempde. This spot is quite hidden but certainly not unknown in the scene. For example, a Graffiti Jam will be organised here every year…
Nomadic Community Garden, London
People live here, it seems… and it seems quite nice to me. Everywhere crafted objects, old furniture, caravans and you can just order a nice fresh cappuccino at a small coffee bar. I was there on a weekday…
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.
