![]() In the town centre of Amsterdam there's a steet called "Russia", with a coffeeshop called also Russia. This one I made for them last summer (2012). The wall was already red and the clouds below first were done with only a transparent sizing. |
![]() April 2011: the big freezer in a bakery - 1.50 x 3.50 meter. This bakery is situated in my family's windmill (hence the theme of the mural). It was painted rather roughly. The customers can see it from the counter, but they keep at about 5 meters distance. Check here to see the underpainting, and details of the wheat. |
![]() Sept. 2010: a garden mural. On the painting, you see the same plants and stone colors as in the garden itself. The neighbor decided to build a patio, resulting in an ugly white wall in my client's garden - and here's what you can do with it! |
![]() Kindergarten backyard, in the middle of Amsterdam - not much light because of the |

![]() This is a private residency. |
![]() My son's bedroom. This was initially just the first layer, but I liked it and left it this way. |
![]() Another Amsterdam day care center. "Forest" was the chosen theme, I put it on a brown-red background to add some warmth. |
![]() This is not real wood - it was painted on. Grain was added with a comb (I didn't do this one myself, it's some Amsterdam folklore) |
![]() Here's a detail of the above picture. It wasn't even done very neatly. Still, it works really nice, because of the well chosen colors. |
![]() The same, from the front. It's a tiny bedroom (all Amsterdam appartments are small). |
![]() Antique faux painting. Lots of time went into this wall painting. This former private home is a museum now.... |
