Two girls having fun with a swing. It's Saturday. The blue color is part of the free feeling of the Saturday.

All of my artworks are inspired by weathered walls with posters, peeling paint and all kinds of things in dilapidation.

I try to create something new, something beautiful with these elements.

SATURDAY SWING

A boy is walking outside with his balloons, trying to escape the gloomy reality in which he lives. I have printed a photograph, of my original artwork on paper, on canvas. The printed image is layered over with paper and acrylic paint, so there has been created a completely new original artwork.

LIFT ME UP II

Contemporary climate change encompasses both human-induced global warming and its impact on the Earth's weather patterns. ... Increased warming in the Arctic has contributed to melting permafrost, glacier retreat and sea ice loss. Higher temperatures also cause more intense storms and other extreme weather events.

Climate change destabilizes the temperature equilibrium on Earth and has far-reaching consequences for people and the environment. During the greenhouse effect, the energy balance and with it the temperature of the earth changes due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases, which has a major impact on people and the environment.

Can this girl ever play in the sea again?

BEACHED

A doppelgänger is a being in fiction, folklore and pop culture who is an almost exact copy of another person. Usually, this personality nevertheless concerns an evil counterpart, symbolises evil or the sight of a doppelgänger is an omen of it.

This mixed media / collage artwork is made with layers of acrylic paint and magazine paper. Arranged over each other in such a way that a deeply layered whole is created.

The inspiration for this technique is the torn posters and peeling paint found on old city walls

DOPPELGÄNGER

This little girl has to live in a refugee reception camp.

She dreams of having a life of freedom.

Kids inspire me. Their ability to transcend any given rotten situation is astounding. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that our generations have really messed up, not even blaming us for it. If we only could keep the kid in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn’t be in such a mess. Art can help us to re-find our childlike innocence

BREAKING FREE

**SILVER LINING**

A landscape with a cheerful and summery flower meadow in the foreground and a dark menacing and ominous forest in the background.

  
A girl plays with her skipping rope in the flower field, her back turned to the dark forest. As if she is trying to ignore something that is about to happen in the future

  
Many small details are incorporated in this Mixed Media flower landscape. An image that has now disappeared from our lives, as children hardly play outside any more.

SILVER LINING

LET THE SUNSHINE IN is about a girl who hangs up balloons to brighten up the world. She wants to bring some warm sunlight into her gloomy surroundings.

The original painting was made on a large canvas.

"Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", normally also called "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In", is a medley of two songs from the 1967 musical Hair. The lyrics were written by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, while Galt MacDermot wrote the music.

Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend any difficult situation is amazing. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed-out city. Playing football in the most miserable neighbourhoods. They are always looking for the light. They save the future that our generations really messed up and don't even blame us for it. If only we could keep the child in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Art can help us find our childlike innocence again

LET THE SUNSHINE IN

Human-induced climate change intensifies the heaviest downpours. More than 70% of the Earth's surface is made up of water, and as the world warms, more water evaporates from oceans, lakes and soils. So when weather patterns lead to heavy rain, even more moisture is available for stronger downpours, increasing the risk and severity of flooding.

For these little girls it might still be fun to play in a heavy rain after a long hot summer day. But what will the future look like for them? What impact will climate change have on them?

A HARD RAIN'S A GONNA FALL

Starts in May is about children playing outside in a city during the war. Buildings are damaged, schools destroyed, trees burned. But children carry on, seeking each other out and always trying to get back into their game.

It is certainly not a cheerful work of art, but it does represent an image of the time. An image that should be preserved to keep the memory of horrific acts of war alive.

Just as photographers capture images of war to show people what happened, db Waterman wants to touch people with an image of a distraught child during the war.

Kids inspire me. Their ability to transcend any given rotten situation is astounding. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that our generations have really messed up, not even blaming us for it. If we only could keep the kid in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn’t be in such a mess. Art can help us to re-find our childlike innocence.

A TENDER AGE

The fight between nature and the advancing industry, with the child in between. The child who has to adapt to his environment and always does, without effort, without resistance.

It is not a fight for the child. The child is absorbed in its environment and makes it his own, as if it should be like that.
