The collection ‘Nature is Golden’ pays homage to nature, which holds profound meaning for me*.
The series consists of photos I have taken across the world, enhanced with golden digital oil paint. I discovered that applying gold accentuates even the smallest details, revealing intricate features often unnoticed by the naked eye.
Some works are highlighted in my portfolio and available for purchase on Saatchi Art.

My Way. I took this photo in Woerden city center, Netherlands. Fell in love with this goose, minding it’s own business. Just what I needed. I almost got sucked into the habits of the art world (one unique style) and taking myself too seriously. Luckily I found myself back and just create what I am driven to do. Lightheartedness and humor are always present, no matter what. This is just a happy shot.
About Nature is Golden
This series pays homage to nature, which holds profound meaning for me (and on a deeper level: who you are in relation to your context). Being outdoors, immersed in nature, grounds me. It lifts me above daily realities. It feels as though nature is tailor-made for me: protecting, embracing, carrying, and supporting me. Nature feels vast and purposeful, and I am a part of it. I am connected. Nature consoles me. As I walk through it, all my senses awaken, and my mind engages. The grandeur of nature, its awe-inspiring presence, makes me feel small yet imbues my existence with meaning. (And the animals I have photographed make me grin. What fantastic beings.) Nature lives. It is alive. It is life.
