Unfortunately the mentioning of the word ‘art’ and ‘gallery’ are far from the meaning I think that they would mean or should be used as such , so I came to the conclusion to change my Instagram name to the only thing which is actually important and that is my name .

So there we go after more than 10.000 followers we do not need to explain ourselves.

Amazing little Island in the middle of this immense oceanic big huge world ..

When I fly away I look back at this little island and hundreds of thoughts cross my mind.

This island has so much but also so little at the same time.

The question always arises why do I still live here , what is it that I always fly back to my “home”.

This looks like heaven but I do worry about the waste mountain which they are ‘trying’ to eliminate for the last decade , that us Ibiza people have no idea about separating garbage, we try but the feeling predominates that it will end up on the same mountain anyway, so we maintain the ‘why bother mentality’.

The sewerage system which is a million years old and keeps on breaking here and there . The millions of people coming to the island and half of them is clueless, the amount of new chirinquitos and lists you have to be on, to get to the next amazing super not to be missed party ..so on and on, around we go .

It is so good to get away and touch base with a different reality, smell the cities,

Feel the energy ,see the stress on peoples faces when they work their way in the plunging rain squeezed under an umbrella.

To see gorgeous men in suits god how I miss them on this Island. Women with goodlooking pencil skirts looking smart and sexy.

I love the colors of the leaves especially in New York and Connecticut, the scent of the mimosa in Italy , the fresh croissants in Paris , cold snow flakes falling on your face when you look up, the noise and even the smell what comes out of the metro grids on the streets of Paris .

Annie Lennox uses that famous sound of the metro in “This City never sleeps” precisely that feeling ..

The sensation of the stress which makes your head spin, the absolute insanity of “must” do’s ,the overrated social groups politics, the hundreds of new restaurants I have to queue up for, the appointments you have to plan weeks and weeks ahead …and yes when I did it all, sensed it all again, till my island glow starts to slowly fade into grey, it is time to return to my Island which is waiting as a good old friend to turn to and have a good glass of wine with and relax..

goodnight wherever you are

Timeless

Once someone said to me “Dutch people always push on the spot where it hurts the most” ..

Luckily there are still some sweet people who support me by posting my art on Instagram for example.

That is thoughtful, that is a very welcome support , and strangely or sadly enough that is rare these days.

Instagram and twitter (and rest.) are made for boosting each other with a simpel hashtag or mentioning of the name .

Why don’t we do that more often ? By doing so You make somebody else happy and he will return with a smile to you! ..easy satisfaction.

I always love this example of how to see things ,.:

“One day, a professor entered his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the exam to begin.

The professor handed out the exams with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers.

To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions–just a black dot in the centre of the paper.

The professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following:

“I want you to write about what you see there.” The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task.

At the end of the class, the professor took all the exams, and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students.

All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the centre of the sheet.

After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain:

“I’m not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you something to think about.

No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same thing happens in our lives. However, we insist on focusing only on the black dot – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend.

The dark spots are very small when compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds. Take your eyes away from the black dots in your lives. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.

Be happy,focus on the good, support each other and live a life filled with love!”
