Een tijd geleden zag ik het werk 'Dozenstilleven' (1998) van de meesterschilder Henk Helmantel. Het licht, de kleurvlakken en niet in de laatste plaats de eenvoud van de voorwerpen, gecombineerd met de grote omvang van het werk, heeft mij erg geïnspireerd. Dit bracht mij tot het schilderen van het afgebeelde stilleven van dozen en papier.
