Airbrushing, as we know it, dates back to 1893 and has come a long way since then. Often more known in the mainstream market as a small 'paint gun', this art form is a process that goes far beyond using a brush and paint, as well as a canvas to work on. Controlled by a small trigger, the artist handles the amount of paint that is fed to the airbrush, and along with the pressure of air, this enables one to actuallly start creating a painting. 

Mind you, that as with any other form of expression, this does not automatically make it art. Both theoretical knowledge as well as practice come into the picture when designing something, as the possibilities are unlimited but also require a devoted sense of detail. You have the tools to create something that  seems to cross the fine line between airbrush special painting and photorealism, as it's even possible to make a line as thin as one from an eyebrow. 

As magnificent as this is, it also sets the bar very high for an artist, because when you are creating something so close to reality, you cannot afford any mistakes. When one is making a painting of a Formula 1 driver in the heat of the race, the end result has to invoke sentiments of a fan as if being so close to the actual car, or re-living the intensity that was known worldwide in the devotion for a leged as Ayrton Senna.
Most of the paintings on this site are made on canvas, in sizes ranges up to even 80 x 120 cm, but almost any material can be used as base for an airbrush; walls, airplanes, visorcaps, even human skin. Through the years, many of these art pieces have been featured in national as well as international media, even during Formula 1 live broadcasts in the well known studios of RTL.

For me, it's not just a way of expressing myself with realistic art, which at times even get confused with actual photos because of the detail. It also brings something special to the table. For example, in a branche as exclusive as high range watches. The provocative combination of such a mechanical art, along with the female body, dares the viewer to look beyond the beauty of one object. It manifest those same feelings that a collector has on a deeper level for the watches, but then in a more carnal representation, making it almost palpable for the viewer.
That's what I believe art should do, touch a person on more than one level, and start a train of thoughts, therefor making it so much more than a mere snapshot in time, or just a representation of something.
