Welcome to my website!

Hi and welcome! Good to have you here.

I was just checking the statistics of people visiting my website and then I noticed that the number of people outside the Netherlands that recently have visited my website has increased. More and more often also people from countries where they mainly speak English, like the UK and Northern America come to my website. For those people I have decided to also put up an English page on my website, a translation of the 'official' homepage from Dutch into English, but also a little bit about the navigation through the site and stuff like that.

So, Welcome to my website.

I'll start with a little introduction and tell you the reason why I decided to set up this website.

In my spare time I like to paint and draw. Since a year or two I think I am also developing my computer skills to design digital works in my style.

I have always been amazed by the work of M. C. Escher, I think as long as I can remember.
I know, way back in time when I was younger I wished and hoped for myself that I would, some time, some day, also be able to make works that are kind of comparable to the works of Escher.
I have never intended to copy his work, but was and still am inspired by his style.
Impressed by the incredible patience this man must have during the creation of his art works and I love the way his art works makes you look at it and then when you look again it lets you see other details you did not see the first time.

The funniest thing about my own works to me is people sometimes ask me: what exactly did you make? And then they name up some things they see in it.
Different people most of the times see different things in the same art work.
I like it when art makes you think and wonder what could this be. There is no good nor bad answer.

I like to show people a small part of my imaginary world that is filled with bright and happy colours and where sometimes nothing seems to be what it is, just depending on the way you look at it.

The essence of art is imagination, like imagination is also art.

People asked me more often where they can find my work, this has also been a big drive 'behind the scene' to set up this website. To give those people that are interested in my works and who would like to see more of it a place to go to.

So then Ro0sz.nl was born and I hope you will enjoy looking at my works as much as I did when I was creating them and I hope to see you back some time. I tend to regularly update this website and add new art works (on average every 2 to 3 weeks).

Anyway, as I was saying I put up this page in English to make it a little easier for those people that do not speak the Dutch language. Beneath this text you will find a few buttons, they are translated into English and will lead you to the parts of the website according the text on the button.
