I don’t make a painting,
I capture a feeling, an energy.

Born in Utrecht in 1986, Patrick comes from a family of artists. Growing up surrounded by art shaped not only his appreciation for painting, but also his belief that creating should come from intuition rather than intention.

Creating is the fire that drives Patrick. Painting, for him, is a search for feeling. His works evolve slowly through layers of color, texture and experimentation, without a fixed outcome. Rather than following a plan, he allows each painting to reveal itself over time. Silence, patience and observation are essential parts of his process.

Inspired by Japanese aesthetics and a deep appreciation for simplicity, Patrick transforms personal experiences into abstract paintings. Every work begins with his own story, while leaving space for the viewer to discover their own within it.

After three inspiring years on Mallorca, Patrick returned to Amsterdam, where he continues his artistic practice. The island became an important chapter in his development as an artist, and its influence can still be felt throughout his work.

For Patrick, every painting is an attempt to capture something that cannot be expressed in words: a feeling, an energy, or a moment that might otherwise disappear.
