At first there was only the idea of "falsifying" a "Jan Vermeer" by replacing the woman from the painting "a letter reading girl" by a woman of today with weather clothing from the coast. With clothes that did not exist at the time. Concerning the occupation with the painter Jan Vermeer, who is a painter of the North Sea coast, I thought: How would women be painted at Jan Vermeer, would he live today? Here on the coast, rain is predominant. Instead of dresses and hoods, one usually sees anoraks and raincoats. The apron reminds of earlier. Likewise the painting in the background.

I'm doing photobooks and doing exhibitions. What fascinates me most is the emergence of the images: the time with the model when photographing, the making of the "paintings", the collection of many beautiful motifs and also the feedback from the viewers and the model.
