About me

I studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam where I developed an interest in making art with digital tools, alongside traditional techniques.

​

I am especially interested in the portrait and the face. Not only are they powerful social signals, they are linked to the emotional and cognitive processes that unfold when we encounter faces in our daily interactions.

​

I often think about identity and self in a time of rapid technological advancement. The impact it has on our mental health, sense of belonging and how we maintain our humanity. And in both an aesthetical and thematic sense, my artworks mirror this by the use of distortion, abstraction and modification.

​

The drawings are created using traditional techniques on paper, canvas or wood board. I use colour pencils, oil paint, watercolour, acrylic paint, acrylic markers, alcohol markers and spray paint in different combinations.

I digitize the painting/drawing with a high resolution scanner and then transform them using video editing effects. This results in an unpredictable and chaotic beauty.

​

The resulting artwork is made into a giclée print, printed on archival-grade premium cotton Hahnemühle paper using pigment inks. All works are unique (1 of 1) items unless stated otherwise and come with certificate of authenticity.
