About
My study Journalism (CHS Windesheim, Zwolle, 2010) did not fit who I am, but I believe you have to finish what you started. So, after I got my degree I explored the creative industry. I produced branded content television programs, directed short movies and I have written two books. In 2018 I met fine arts. I realized drawing and painting creates silence in my head.
It happens that I converge this work with other media, for instance with film/video, photo or animation. That's how I created audiovisual installations, which are shown in Berlin, Liège, Lille, Leipzig and Rotterdam - usually by participating in the Kino community. With the artist group Onlive on the Road I travel to events where we create new art in performances and expose other, previous artworks.
In 2024 I started another bachelor, at the Willem de Kooning Academy in my hometown Rotterdam. Why? Well, I like to develop and experiment, and I had the feeling there was so much more to learn. My desire can bring me to wonders.
Beside fine arts I am a Dutch writer. This website is ment to exposure my fine arts. Are you interested in my work? Feel free to contact me for your next project or exhibition.
