About…

After graduating H.K.L.S (painting/drawing/graphics) René joined an art collective in Sittard called ‘De Melkfabriek’. Three years in, a post-academic study followed at Opleiding Nieuwe Media in Maastricht, which would change the game for around 30 years…

Although painting always has been his passion, the computer added design field emerged as a new professional domain in the beginning of the 90’s. Interactive media and exhibition design soon became the foundation for a career as designer at Opera Designers and lead him to teach at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, followed by Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE). Higher Art Education forms the most important professional field for him the last 2 decades, leading him to study again at Stoas Vilentum (aka Aeres Hogeschool) in Wageningen, and research ‘critical reflection’ as a part of his Master course ‘Learning and Innovation’. René currently works for DAE as an educational developer / didactic teacher trainer, and as a learning- and professional development coach in the ‘Reflections’ learning line.

Now, after almost 30 years however, he has discovered painting again. Leading to abstract expressionist paintings and drawings that are build on memories and stories that span his entire life until now. You can reach René on one of socials (left) or send an e-mail.
