I was just like the little boy when I was child - there was so much to see, but the grown-ups never seemed to notice!

Your paintings always look like they have stories behind them. Do you write, or do these images just pop out of your head spontaneously?

As for this particular piece, I love the ambiguity in the child's expression. When I first saw his face, he creeped me out a bit, but the longer I looked, the more I realized that he could be either innocent or malevolent. Either way, it's intriguing.

I do write, but most of my picture don't relate to a written down story.
I always try to convey a certain atmosphere in my pictures and I always found that the atmosphere gets more intens if the viewer gets the impression that he just popped into a situation that started before he came to 'join in' and will continue when he looks away again. It kind of gives the characters a live of their own...

That's really cool! I love it when I find an artist who puts that much thought into their work. It makes their pieces all the more charming, and memorable.

Lovely and intriguing Makes me think of Mary Poppins for soem reason. Maybe because common things and people weren't quite so common there and I have the same feeling here

It's an intriguing piece. What's the little column? it's the column that is watching the boy or the contrary?

As someone else said, I love how you manipulated colour in this piece. The warmer tones on him ensure that the eye lands right on him.

Also, I would love to know the story behind the piece. It seems like a 'Big Brother' kind of society.

If I could favourite this twice, I would.
It's rather Dr. Who-ian. I adore it---I'd probably even buy a print!

How you reach these colors is what impresses me. You make it looks easy. Maybe it is, but you've gotta have eye to that.
