Born in Maastricht in 1961, he graduated from the Academy of the city of Maastricht in monumental design and painting.

From 1987 he worked with the bronze foundry of Pie Sijen and continued to do so until 1997. With his knowledge of  fusion, including the entire process of the various stages involved, he moved away from painting to concentrate entirely on creating images.

His works are present in numerous public and private collections.
