Over the years he has lived in different European capitals: Berlin, Vienna, London and now The Hague. He has visited many of the great art museums of the world and has also has the opportunity to acquaint himself with Asian and South-American cultures and art-techniques.

He has exhibited his oil-paintings, oil-pastels and photographs in a number of European capitals.

His artworks convey special messages, associations and sentiments strongly relevant to the age in which we live.
