In 1980 Ad started painting. After years of following various creative activities, he started two exclusive galleries in the Amsterdam Sonesta and Krasnapolsky hotels in 1983.
His best known paintings are tulips.
In 1990 Ad started to focus on making screen prints of his own paintings. He achieved such good quality that other artists soon had their work screen printed by Ad. For example, he was Herman Brood's house printer for 12 years. Corneille, Jan Cremer, Rob Scholte, Shunyam, Peter Diem and many other artists also made frequent use of his expertise.
After the loss of artists such as Herman Brood and Corneille, Ad saw the opportunity to specialize in a completely new technique, namely the creation of insanely colored sculptures by means of CNC laser cutting and milling of various plastic materials.
