I primarily work as an independent artist, but because my work brings together both art and science, a part of my images and films is being used as scientific illustrations.

Because I practice several specialistic techniques I am regularly asked to do commissioned work. Regarding the artistic aspects of his work, I thrive for tranquility in my images; the compositions are carefully balanced. This resembles the accuracy of a scientific approach. But often with a slight touch of absurdism.

My work is somewhat related to Victorian traditions of microscopic slide making and the work of the 19th century naturalists. I'm also a big fan of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the 17th century draper from Delft who discovered the micro world. I am currently researching his first discovery of microbes. Here is an Article about the first microbe Van Leeuwenhoek described

In the past I’ve published regularly in Micscape Magazine and made various web pages, like the on-line Micropolitan Museum. It has always been my aim to promote micro-organisms. And hopefully my images encourage people to start working with a microscope.
