Walter Vermeulen

Location: Belgium

I live in Belgium.
The artwork that I make is mainly in colored pencil, ink and watercolour, also collages (mixed media). I started in 1988 and made my last drawing in 2014. I never followed any lessons except from my father, a heimat painter, and who is a famous artist here in the area.
The artwork is mostly music inspired. MusicaI heroes by which a lot of artwork is inspired are The Beatles, Elton John and Dire Straits, to name just these ones... also I'm a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. I was just a kid when she died.
I stayed for two wonderful years in Arizona. That were the best days of my life. I hope to return there one wonderful day, but that is more than probably years from now.
Thank you for your visit.
