Whirling Dragons: Here you'll find background information about my artwork, the how and why of it, and several examples of my drawings. |
|
| Breizh: Breizh,
or shorter BZH, is the Celtic name of French
Brittany. You'll find drawings here that are directly influenced by Breton landscapes, mythology, culture and customs, and a lot of pictures I took in Britanny. |

The
Pagan Chapel: My chapel begins with
six leaded-glass windows which are not exactly Christian. They explore
the possibilities of applying knotwork and interlacings to human limbs.
So do the drawings in the "Ritual"-section.
Furthermore it contains labyrinths and some pentagrams. |

| Celtic Tree Calendar: My interpretations of the Green Men that were used as ornamentation on medieval churches, but go back (at least) to Roman times. Symbols of renewal in nature and oneness with the earth for some, demons warning for the sins of the flesh for others. As I like both (nature ànd sins of the flesh) I have drawn 13 "Green Men" and incorporated them in a Celtic tree calendar. | |
| Celtic Universe: drawings inspired by Celtic and pre-Celtic worldview, mythology and places. | |
| Celtic crosses:
For me, they symbolise the expanding principle (the four-armed cross)
and the unifying principle (the circle), together in one symbol. The arms of the cross may also represent the four traditional elements air, water, fire and earth, so I designed four Celtic crosses. |

| Here there be Dragons: Drawings of dragons, snakes and the like. | |
| Celtarabia: Arab-Andalusian latticework seduces me with its intricacy, just like its Celtic counterpart. In some of my drawings, I try for a seamless transition between Islamic and Celtic knotwork. |
