Frank considers himself a visual artist with a strong affinity for the past while living in the present. His contemporary works, drawing attention to current issues, often have a melancholy feel. They tell you something about the creator and as you get to know him and read more about the background of the pictures, you start looking more closely and discover the layering in the work.
That is why I feel a strong bond with the Dutch/Flemish painters of the past. They are my cultural heritage. Painters like Willem Claesz, Clara Peeters, Pieter Claesz and Willem Kalf all told their personal stories and so did I.
