All my life I struggled between being an artist and being a businessman. Sometimes the artist won and sometimes the businessman. Often I lived and worked in both worlds. The difference between the two was that for being an artist, my mind had and has to be empty. Before I could paint I had to be thoroughly bored so to say. And in that state I almost never am! Sometimes, in a sudden explosion and in a certain mood I took my brushes, paint and paper and I started without being able to stop. A very satisfying but also very tiring period. Although I don't paint very often nowadays, I'm sure that periods as described above would come back.

Once a painter always a painter!
