My show during the 58th Biennale

I ask for crowdfunding to cover expenses like the overall design, the hosting and marketing during my exhibition period, ANIMA MUNDI INTERNATIONAL ART FESTIVAL / VISIONS by Its Liquid, and the costs of my framing and art transport to Italy.
Visions will take place from 3 Oct. till 24 Nov. 2019 in Venice

My artistic career is influenced by the many Italian Renaissance masters I admired for the first time at young age at 17 visiting several Italian cities, like Rome and Florence. Since my time at Art school my affinity is with paper because I like the specific characteristics of it I cannot translate to other materials such as linen.

Recently I went for new inspiration to Venice. During my journey I made many snapshots. For instance I like the colours of the city and especially the interesting blue- green- colours of the Lagoon, the floating sea-weeds and the many Islands. With the following result: my new series of 'The waters of Venice'.

In 2017 I first was invited by Its Liquid Group to take part at the Int. Art Festival Anima Mundi -Visions during the 57th Biennale of Venice. I share a mutual concept with this platform for artists. About their philosophy of transparency, fluidity of life form and motions visualized in my new drawings.
This year there is a planning for my exhibition with my special series 'Inspirational Venice', during the 58th BIENNALE in their new exhibition space THE ROOM at the calle Larga San Marco, close to the S. Marco square in Venice.

At the end of my campaign I like to invite all the benefactors to visit my studio in Amsterdam and having an inside view about my work. You are very welcome. It's situated at a side way close to the river the Amstel and the beautiful Weesperzijde.
