Born in the Netherlands, I studied photography and photographic Art and worked as a freelancer for magazines and in fashion photography before focusing on my artistic career in 2008, winning the same year the professional art-prize in my region. In all those years my work was honored so many times and since last year my artworks has been featured in several art magazines. Geert is VISUAL ART MASTER of the Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo Association Cultural.
My ideas and statements about ART:
I think that art gives us back to ourselves in a renewed state.
By paying attention to art for a moment, we tap into a source within ourselves and we gain access to the imagination.
Art offers us new perspectives, makes us think and activates our senses. Art gives us value so that we feel we can be different from what we tend to think.
She teaches us how we can free ourselves from our regular pattern, rise above ourselves and open ourselves to other people, to the world.
"In his work, Philosophy and Art creation are often closely intertwined, as all his projects start with a philosophical research and analysis. Geert combines in his artwork different cultures and use the absurd in his attempt to explain the surrounding and uncertain world and its irrational aspects. Composing artworks is for him almost a philosophical question. Transferring his thoughts into some kind of metaphoric representations help him to express them through strong and compassing images".
