What if evolution didn`t stop with us? What if nature, in her endless creativity, continued to sculpt life into forms both alien and familiar? This painting, a vision of what might come, invites you to peer into the future—a future where life has adapted to challenges we can only imagine today.
With a form that defies the constraints of current biology, this creature embodies resilience and transformation. Its elongated beak and twisted appendages suggest a world where survival demands new senses and capabilities. Wrapped in its own protective cocoon, it stands as a sentinel of what could be—a life form evolved to thrive in an environment unknown to us.
Step closer and ponder: What might have driven this evolution? What world does this being inhabit? As you gaze upon its surreal yet strangely plausible form, consider the endless possibilities of life beyond our own time.
Welcome to the future of evolution.

The two skateboards I`ve designed are more than just art; they are a powerful statement about the disturbing transformation of our world. With dark, unsettling images depicting creatures that are half nature, half decay, my work highlights the impact of humanity on the climate and the environment. These grotesque figures symbolize the world we now live in—a world that is broken, depleted, and distorted by human actions.
The first skateboard features a bird-like creature, with large, hollow eyes that seem to cry out for help, while its body falls apart. The second board showcases a similar figure, whose damaged and ominous form embodies the gradual destruction of nature. The black lines and splatters, seemingly scattered randomly across the canvas, represent the chaos and disorder we have created.
These artworks serve as a reflection on the devastating consequences of our actions. They are a reminder that, although the damage is great, there is still time to change our course.
In the deepest shadows of our environmental impact, a transformation lurks. This drawing, meticulously created with ink and a fountain pen on a skateboard, exposes the disturbing consequences of our actions: a deformed creature, broken by pollution and human indifference. The use of a skateboard as a canvas symbolizes the fragile balance between progress and destruction, emphasizing how our actions change the world beneath our feet. This artwork is both a warning and a glimpse into a possible future. Our choices today shape the evolution of tomorrow. What will we leave behind? A world of beauty and balance, or an echo of what once was?
Human greed and negligence have scarred the planet, polluting oceans and driving animals to extinction. Amidst this chaos, a new evolution begins.
On a windy autumn day, young people find a mysterious skateboard in an abandoned square. The skateboard features a drawing of a futuristic being, symbolizing a new species born from human errors and nature`s despair. These beings, guardians of a renewed Earth, are created by nature and enhanced by technology.
Their mission is to heal the Earth, with or without humanity. The drawing on the skateboard is a reminder that nature will always find a way to survive. This legend inspires reflection on humanity’s role and actions, urging a future where technology and nature coexist in harmony. The skateboard`s story calls for change and participation in Gaia`s rebirth.
Dreamscape guardian Acrylic on panel of wood 100 x 120cm 2024
This painting features a surreal, bird-like creature with a long, slender beak and large, half-closed eyes, set against a vibrant background of warm colors such as red, orange, yellow, and blue. The expressive eyes and the dark, mysterious neck draw attention, while abstract, almost mechanical shapes around the head suggest an intriguing blend of nature and technology. This combination of elements creates a fascinating and mysterious artwork that invites the viewer to reflect deeply and find their own interpretation.

Dit object "Evolutie van vervorming" toont een abstracte dierlijke schedel, samengesteld uit verschillende diersoorten. Dit kunstwerk weerspiegelt de veranderingen en vervormingen die de natuur ondergaat door menselijk toedoen. De grillige vormen en kleuren benadrukken de impact van klimaatverandering en roepen op tot bewustwording en actie voor het behoud van onze planeet.
"Evolution of Distortion" depicts an abstract animal skull, merging features from various species. This artwork reflects the transformations and distortions nature endures due to human impact. The intricate forms and vibrant colors emphasize the effects of climate change, urging awareness and action to protect our planet.

Yeah Sure, Have you ever thought about how fantastic it is to give discarded items a second life? Recently, I transformed an old, used skateboard into a true piece of art, and I can tell you it was an experience filled with creativity and satisfaction.
Instead of throwing the skateboard away, I decided to give it a new purpose. And not just any purpose – I gave it a fresh dose of color and cheerfulness. With care and attention, I hand-painted the iconic Pink Panther on it. He is leaning nonchalantly against a wall, in a relaxed pose, just as we know him. But there`s a twist: if you look closely, you`ll see he`s wearing an electronic ankle monitor.
This ankle monitor symbolizes the limitations that often define our lives. We are controlled and restricted, sometimes by the government, sometimes by other forces beyond our control. The painting reflects our daily existence. But the message I want to convey is simple: you can stress about these limitations, or you can, like the Pink Panther, handle them in a relaxed and nonchalant manner. By choosing to stay relaxed, you add value to your life and create an inner freedom that no one can take away.
This repurposed skateboard tells a bigger story – it is not only a symbol of sustainability but also of resilience and a positive attitude towards the challenges life presents. Reuse is more than a second chance for an object; it is a philosophy of life, an art form in itself.
Yeah sure, please sand me, polish me. I love to be shiny. Okay no problem. Funny, and a relaxed popart on a Skateboard. Do you see the story about this art?
Somtimes after a while, you want to change things at some art that was already finished. This is an example. More shiny, more depth. So I will post soon the new Yeah Sure.
