Landscapes speak to the soul, whether it’s the mountains or the sea.

Landscapes have a way of drawing us in—whether it’s the vast openness of the ocean or the quiet solitude of the mountains. They stir something deep within us, a memory, a longing, a dream yet to unfold.

My landscapes are not just about places I have been, but also about places I long to be transported to. They exist in the in-between—familiar yet elusive, shaped by both memory and imagination. People often ask me, “Is this landscape in South Africa or the Netherlands?”  The answer is yours to decide. My work is meant to take you somewhere personal, somewhere only you recognise.

In my latest series, I embrace the unpredictability of the creative process. I allow the paint to move like the tides—blending, shifting, dissolving into something unexpected. The ocean is never still, and neither is the act of creation. Some moments feel like calm waters, others like stormy seas. But in each layer, there is a space for reflection, for stillness within movement.

I hope my work becomes a bridge between coastlines—real and imagined, past and present, distant and near. The sea does not belong to one place; it belongs to all of us. It carries the weight of time, the echoes of distant shores, and the ever-changing light of the sky.

Let your mind wander. Let yourself daydream. And perhaps, you’ll find a piece of your own story hidden within the layers of paint.
