Zelf verkopen
I am often asked whether my work is for sale. That is why I have chosen to offer it here, in my own space, directly, transparently and in complete freedom. Sometimes I work with galleries, which means that certain prices are based on a fixed market value. Nevertheless, each painting remains entirely my own creation: at my own pace, with my own materials and according to my own intuition.
By offering my work here, I can follow up on where my paintings find a home. That personal contact is important to me. In the gallery world, that information is often shielded for fear of competition, but I believe that art is also about connection: between the creator, the work and the new owner.

In the gallery
The art market is a unique reality. Galleries work with commissions of around 50%, and although these are often justified – think of trade fairs, promotion, networking and presentation – there are few galleries that truly support artists in their growth. There are wonderful, valuable collaborations, but there are also many places where the work becomes more important than the artist behind it. And quite simply, there are fewer galleries than artists.
Online platforms are an alternative, although many of them require a monthly fee to display work. This sometimes makes the commitment one-sided: the financial risk usually lies with the artist, while the platform continues to run automatically. The greater reach is an advantage, but even there, the work often remains one of many, as in a large group exhibition.
A gallery with who I am working with at the moment is Bernice. It is an art rental and gallery where as well coöperate as private clients can rent, lease and buy art.

I continue to look for opportunities, for places where my work can grow and resonate. And I am open to new collaborations, as long as they are fair, clear and sincere.
That is why I am offering my work for sale here, in a way that feels right to me. Because one thing I am discovering more and more, and what I love most, is this: clarity. And from that clarity, space is created for real encounters.
