New Renaissance Artist Henk Fakkeldij
Stimulating the senses, spoiling the mind.
Claar Griffioen and Paul van den Akker visited me in my studio to have an interview about Frans Franciscus or Frans van den Vooren. They write a book about him and his art.
I was with Frans in Berlin in 1984. Pim my nephew was with him and I met Also Erwin Olaf there. It was a great time of exploration and discussing each others art.
Work from the Berlin time. Morning cock and the opera singer are from Frans. The others are from me.
For the Fries museum I created a perfume called: Franciscus, if your body is sacred to you.
It was exhibited with drawings in the museum in 2002
Unfinished but almost ready to play 😁
What a great surprise to see the exhibition of Joost Stokhof on the ferry to Amsterdam Noord.
Graphic score. For remembrance. Today I finished my artwork after having it had for about a year on the wall. The dying day of my sister Marion was also the finish.

Today was the day that my super sweet friend and sister died one year ago. I’m still grieving her loss. Miss her billion times. Just have to deal with it.
At work in my studio. Setting up a big improvisation. An expression of sound in visuals, meaning: designing visuals that needs to be sound too.
Skating in Golden Gate Park and through San Francisco. Visiting the museums and galleries, drawing and being overwhelmed by nature. Later skating in Hawaii the big Island.
The Mascotte of The North of Amsterdam, designed by me as part of the project Mooimakers with the input of the inhabitants. A concept for a 3D printed version at the IJplein, there where the ferry comes and goes 🙂
Thanks to the municipality of Amsterdam and Woning Stichting Ymere
My perfumes exhibited in the Dutch Theatre Museum in the nine-tees.
Since I graduated from the Rietveld Art Academy I created perfumes from places, situations and remembrance. Here are my perfumes and bottles about the senses.
Golden Ophelius, a perfume men dream of &
Hameletta, a wet dream for women.
