To give and expand more love and happiness in the world by my artworks, I strongly feel the need to work more and more internationally, so need to explore and open up more markets. Listening to my soul, following that dream, and intensify that journey, traveling has always been something I liked and makes me happy. The joy to meet new people, see new things or revisit places you have been in the past is always inspiring to me.
So was my trip to UAE, where I have been 20 years ago, and did schedule quite some meetings and visits, both in Dubai as in Abu Dhabi. During the last 12 months I did meet quite some people mentioning that my work would be well accepted in the UAE in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, both by the Emirati people and the internationals living there. As my artworks are new to the art scene of course new local designs are being are in my head and being made as we speak, due to cultural differences and the way art is being accepted and embraced.
The safety, the respect, the warmth and friendliness of the people, has been tremendous. The speed of innovation, standards of living, safety, drive and progression is enormous. As a former cyclist I did cycle in Abu Dhabi, well supported by Wolfi's, and was impressed by the cycling infrastructure in place already, but also the new indoor cycling track they are building for the worlds in 2028/2029.
The mix of meeting with galleries, design companies, real estate companies, potential business partners has been positive. Next steps are in discussion and at the moment we are setting up first transport to get some bigger artworks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. As the way I create my artworks, I make unique pieced and can customize in terms of seizes and materials based on personal requirements. A totally new ap;porach to get best in arts and personal satisfaction.

We have done complete new shipment of unique pieces all the way to South od Spain.
