Jimmy's creative journey didn't start until he was about thirty. He had to break free from the suppression of his creativity and expression  in childhood and the heavy indoctrination he received regarding art and culture.

His ever first drawings were "Self portrait" in acrylic paint on  special paper and "Mother and child"., in the end of 1992. 

His first drawings  after his initial acrylic drawings were of babies and toddlers, often in large group portraits, mostly based on a seventeenth century style. They were mostly made in pastel on paper. 

Besides of the portraits of baby's and toddlers, Jimmy started drawing and painting in oil paint from 'unfinished memories", leading to the making of several hundreds of oil paintings in some years of continuous reliving of events.

In this period of 1995- 1996, recordings were made  unfinished "religious" memories  on cult meeting and imprints of words.

"Harim ana"  and "In the lights Unam" are examples of home recordings in this theme

After a six year period as a volunteer in archaeology Jimmy returned to art, starting with the making of art, only by using  original  Neolithic prehistoric stone tools (tools of about 5500 years old, belonging to the Michelsberg culture). 

With short periods of drawing in pastel, Jimmy made the portrait of an eight year old boy he called Jimmy  that made him  suddenly change his first name into Jimmy in 2004. 

In 2012 and 2013-m 2015  Jimmy was mainly focusing on processing of photo's and digital images. He created impressive art with help of the available technology.

In 2016 Jimmy started studying the 'space around a cube" to understand more about space and placed extended ribs on a cube from all vertices by 135 degrees, to create more space, resulting in many new graphical objects.  The object left was later incorporated in his four dimensional space studies, see the same object right in a 4D projection.

In 2017 Jimmy started experimenting with light to understand light and studied principles of quantum mechanics (2017- 2020) which resulted in a series of digital prints in the  theme of the quantum world. 

In the beginning of 2018 Jimmy started making 3- D objects, of which some survived. 

From hand cut recycled glass Jimmy made many glass mosaic sculptures, often insects or animals

From 2020 till 2023 Jimmy became a member of the joint Fantastike studio in Maastricht. This marked a period of his first exhibitions, giving talks about dissociative identity disorder and the painting of the horse "Sphelinx" at the Town Hall of Maastricht.  

Jimmy created special works for his talks on dissociative identity disorder and creativity

From 2021 a large part of his work was created in his "identity restoration studio" focusing on  the identity and gender of boys in his work. 

Being concerned about the impact of human activities on nature and environment, Jimmy made the drawing "The gathering of the dried out leaves"  in pastel 60 x 80 cm. 

In 2022 Jimmy discovered  drawing in nature, which brought him many drawings in pastel and paintings in oil on landscapes and nature. 

Series were produced like the "Caricatures of emotions" , ten medium sized  ( 50 x 70 cm) pastel drawings based upon emotions. The image below is entitled "Wounded" 

Because it was very difficult to get one style or one preferred medium, Jimmy used many media and styles to explore his basic interest. A selection is displayed below. 

From 2025 Jimmy decided to use a multimedia approach and use various elements from different disciplines to incorporate and blend into new art forms.  He is working on projects about micro worlds, "Old tools,  New art" on  using authentic prehistoric tools for new art forms, and "Family of Love".
