In the summer of 1984, three friends from art school and I drove in a borrowed car to the west of Brittany: Finisterre. I found the atmosphere reflected in the driftwood washed ashore by the ocean. Three years later it became the first work to be included in a museum collection.

Gijs Frieling and Job Wouters (together known as Freeling Waters) incorporated the work ‘Finisterre’ into their mural ‘Joy’ in Museum Het Valkhof in 2026
