He never lost his interest in transgressing the boundaries between reality and fantasy. In 2005 he started to be represented by art galleries in Amsterdam. During those years he travelled all over the world participating in exhibitions and art fairs. He started to investigate mixed media between digital art and traditional techniques. This was the beginning of Van Apple's artworks. He became known with an amazing series of works dedicated to Mr. Satoshi, Golden Tweety, Daffy Duck and Mickey. After his latest releases he decided to get more into the creative vibes and took a one-off flight to Ibiza. At this moment, his artworks are very popular all over the world among art lovers and investors are intrigued by his style. Van Apple's art is a combination of digital techniques such as photography.
