I look at the beauty of body language and interactions between people in the public space. It’s within the body language, the movement and groupdynamics that a part of life takes place that I find interesting. Body language reveals stories, personality, desires, boredom, belonging, doubt. Because of our need for personal space we form natural compositions. I like this dynamic, this part of humanity. My paintings are about seeing, understanding and combining people in such a storytelling structure. I place individuals with a compositional rhythm in a narrative reflecting my observations of human beauty, hidden emotions and groupdynamics. I analyze the dynamics and reduce the complexity to a rhythmical minimalism.

Street-art/graffiti gives me the opportunity to have a direct interaction with people in the public space about my question of belonging and exposure. I come from a background in sculpture, photography and film. For more info click here.

HAPPENING NOW:

Exhibition “Selfie van de ziel” at NDSM Fuse (opening 23 jan 2026), 5 solo exhibitions that focus on the artists to reveal their soul. For this exhibit I’m observing myself observing the world. The observer observed. I made self-portraits inspired by Yokai, super-natural creatures from Japanese mythology and folklore. The drawings are geographical maps of my soul. From an innocent to a complex landscape.
