"I am not educated as an artist, I am self-taught. I have been a journalist for about twenty five years, but, unfortunately, when I was about 45 years old I suffered from deep depressions, that took about ten years of my life.
In my drawings I try to explain what is/was deep inside me, a way of communication, which in the drawings is said that, which is not possible in my daily life.
"After this dark period I started studying Arabic, and began to draw more intensely than before.
By the end of the sixties I had exhibitions in well-known galleries in Amsterdam and elsewhere. And now I am 75 years old (born in Holland, 4 Feb. 1943)."
