My Story


Pulsing Points of Light

Hi. I am authenktic and I pulse. I am a pulsist and I make pulse art.

On this website I tell my story about my path to more happiness and a more beautiful world. We are all on our way to our goal, each in our own way. My way is pulsing. I pulse with my heart (physically) but also with my heart, head and hands (by feeling, thinking and doing).

I create and spread pulsing points of light. Little repetitive moments of happiness that make life worth living for me. Each point of light is small, modest and a bit quirky. What I want to show is precisely that recurring everydayness. The great happiness that is in all those beautiful little moments. That’s the pulse.

I make my pulsing points of light or little moments of happiness in different series, each with its own frequency: Thank YouLoveGrowShineBright SpotPastry Man, Cabinet of Curiosities and Henk Verhulst. Each series is about a value that is important to me, which I convert into repetitive actions in a fixed rhythm and transform into pulsing points of light.

I pulse because I realize that my heart only beats for a limited time, and therefore I only have a limited time to do something beautiful and meaningful with my heart, head and hands. Paradoxically, it is precisely the fixed rhythm of pulsing that gives me the space to create and spread many beautiful moments of happiness.

My motto: make meaningful moments.

My mission: more happiness and a more beautiful world.

With my points of light, I want to help, inspire and make people pulse, so that they too will help, inspire and make people pulse, so that they too …

My small contribution to a more beautiful world
