1 In a small dark room. The drawings on the wall could only be seen by a dynamo-tourchlight.
2 The drawings show the people making a film, at the bachdrop, not seeing on the screen.
3 Another room “the white cube” is one picture on the wall with all lights on it.
This Installation is a metaphore for the artworld, since so many artist and so mutch work of artist is never been seen, stays at the atelier, the backdrop.

COMMISSION
I do like to paint and draw,
Most of time I make my own work.
But I also like to get some job as making a decoration or a portrait.
In Cafe Amsterdam I made various decorations.
These paintings are some kind “hidden” in the cafe, you must look up or down to “catch” these.
Besides I was asked to paint a portrait of a friendly dog and a mysterious cat.
