Subdued. An eye for the soul of man and animal. Transience translated into timelessness.

In my portraits I strive to capture the unique essence of each individual. A subtle smile, a sincere look or a slight bow can tell the deepest stories. My creative process always starts with a personal encounter, in which I discover the core of my subject. This creates a portrait that not only shows an outward resemblance, but also touches the soul.

Human
"Just as fascinating as painting people is capturing the essence of animals. Each animal has a unique personality and a special role in the life of its owner. I love listening to the stories behind this band and translating them into a work of art that is more than just an image – a timeless portrait that makes their character and meaning visible. An animal portrait that touches and will cherish forever."

Horses exude a majestic power and elegance that words often transcend.
What particularly fascinates me is the deep bond between horse and rider-the silent communication and energy they share together. In my paintings, I strive to capture not only the physical strength of the horse, but also the emotion and unique connection that characterise them.
The result is a portrait that reflects the pride, movement and essence of the horse-a timeless tribute to this special animal.

An experience
Having a portrait painted is much more than just having a work of art made. It is a personal and often moving experience, where your story and vision are central.
From the first conversation, in which we discuss your wishes, to the photo session and the final unveiling of the portrait: every moment contributes to creating a work that is truly for you.
The process invites you to reflect on who or what you want to capture and why it is important. Whether it is a loved one, an animal, or a special memory, the journey to the end result is intimate and valuable.
Way of working
“ ...own signature, eye for detail and quality... ”
As an artist and entrepreneur, Frank has a beautiful combination of his own signature, an eye for detail and quality, and a love for people and materials, which provides a wonderful foundation for workshops, personal trajectories and free assignments.
“Hera as she is”
Frank has done an incredible job to capture our dog Hera. Hera passed away a few weeks ago and we are touched every day by her painting. He managed to capture Hera as she is!!
“expectations exceeded”
He exceeded our expectations!! We are still very happy with the canvases that aesthetically have a beautiful place in the house and that also connect so beautifully with our feelings: very special!! Thank you Frank for the person you are and the talent you throw into the world! And with what apparent ease! Wonderful!
About Frank
‘When I started mixing oils one day and saw the colours emerge, it gave me butterflies in my stomach. It feels like magic: bringing light, colour and texture together to create something that touches. I am inspired by the small, subtle things - the way light glides across a landscape, a look in someone's eyes, or the unique energy of an animal.
In my work, I look for more than just capturing portraits; they are stories captured in paint, moments you feel. What I do is all about connection - with the subject, that elusive something that brings everything together.’
