Yesterday I visited national flower park De Keukenhof.
Four sculptures of mine are part of this year's art exhibition in the park.
Plus the one that's part of their sculpture collection since 2008.
The combination of sculptures and flowers is just beautiful.

On the 27th of March I installed 5 sculptures of mine at Gallery / Sculpture park DNK in Dorst.
On the picture you can see “Rupture” in the foreground and “One step beyond” in the background.
And of course my doggie Pamuk is there too.
I didn’t put him there for the picture !

Almost a year after my dear colleague Anneke Klein Kranenbarg passed away, her partner Edwin has organized the exhibition “Art for Life” at Galerie Wagner in Paris, as a homage to her.
A group of 9 close colleagues of Anneke, from various countries, will show their work, next to that of hers.
