PROJECTS AND EVENTS

To do this, I sit around at home or elsewhere and play with pigments, glues, all things nice and nasty which could give hints to the art of painting in Roman antiquity. Read more here: "arts and colours"

I'm not prolific Picasso who carried several pieces of art to a receptive market on a daily basis. I paint most of my pictures because I want to have them: the Severus-Tondo was first on the list, as it is the most famous Not-Mummy-Portrait (and I wanted it complete with Geta). Almost every painting is an experiment, for some this proved useful, for some it didn't. In 2008-2009, I wrestled with the pigments themselves, today, I'm fine-tuning diluted chalk-primer and mix different resins with turpentines in quests for the best encaustics.

But I'm glad that some of my paintings found new homes with friends – friends, have thanks for this. I painted a picture on a wall of a reconstructed house in the Archeologic Parc Xanten (and had a license to do so), likewise inscriptions for the various craftsmen and workshops there. I would like to get my hands and wax colours on some of the many reconstructed ships, but maybe that's about to happen sometime.

You can't hire me in 2025. I have to work on my concept and take time out.
