| “ | hi there, i like to tell you a little about me and my art. I do make drawings since i can remember, have no join training in it, but thanks heaven i have so much fantasy I always can make art, and even use a lot of mediums in 1 kind of art. I mostly draw portraits. It's nice when the picture is clear when i draw somebody's portrait, and i think the eyes makes the portrait. I love to create colours,try to create my own character in my art. since i have the possibility with my laptop, i love to design, all the background i made by my own. I also make cartoons(from guinea pigs) since 1996 I have guinea pigs and they give me so much inspirations for makin' cartoons with their funny character ,so it was easy to make one cartoon after another. lately i've been more busy with design and portraits, that making of the cartoons become less, but i will make soon more..the updates you will find on my ARTMAJEUR gallery. next to making art i also love to make photo's, and i love music and lookin'forward to when i can go visit a concert or gig. there i love to take pics of bands as well, and make after it a report of it incl pics Yes and i love travel, takin' pics there as well I use once to make diving trips but i didn't dive anymore for years, so when i will go diving again i have to go back on training. my favorite country is Scotland, i like ireland as well but i was twice in Scotland so i adore the Highlands, the rough landscape and celtic myst in it, inspire me also for makin'art, end 80's i even make oilpaintings of the Scottish landscapes. Yes I like the Celtic culture and even wear the celtic cross (bangle) and in my fantasy art, you will find the Celtic inspirations back in my objects and figures. what kind of music I like?? a lot, my taste of music is very huge, but still there are 2 musicians I admire a very long time,it's MIKE OLDFIELD (saw him twice) and KATE BUSH, I think the mysterious something in their music i adore,and special the music from Mike Oldfield inspired me since my youth I was 9 or 10 when tubular bells 1 came out. (i knew it from the excorsist theme, wow that music at that time even scared me) and i remember ,i didn't know the name of the artist but the music in dolce jubilo i adore so much ,I really enjoy it, and i found in it even the Celtic spirit and it never leaves me, since Moonlight shadow and to France I know. the person who made all this amazing music is Mike Oldfield. it was 1978 or 79 when i heard Wuthering heights and again i fell in love with that mysterious voice, song and even singer, it was kater bush,still today i really enjoy when i hear the Wuthering heights, I read the book, (English version and Dutch version) and i even perform once the Wuthering heights,and even other songs of kate I like, even the songs she sings together with other artist like peter Gabriel, Kate bush is a very mysterious singer and i like that a lot, all that fit perfect together in my Celtic world, colourfull,mysterious,kind of witchcraft, history..yeh.. it inspire me a lot for makin'art, see my fantasy art and you will find it all back. my favorite artist??? Mother nature is my favorite artist, see the sunsets, clouds, rainbows,colours in the sky, mountains, landscapes,oceans, and yes there are some artist where i like to see them story, their art, their background, but i think that every artist who is still alive, workin'hard on create in every piece of art his own style, and i do the same and i hope, that in 300 years, everyone will know my piece of art, my character and style in it, that's why i make art, to create my own world and that my art become immortal.They say, the artist always live on in his works. |
