Here he developed his love for letters and typography. Ruud started painting when he was about twenty years old. His works are clearly a marvelous combination of his devotion for typography, letters, lyrics and music.Besides his paintings, Ruud makes various other statements. He designed a book cover for Ronald Giphart, an album for a Dutch Rock band and he designed a room at the Hotel American in Amsterdam.His work can be found in many private and corporate art collections all over the world.
