I am a painter based in Bakkum, the Netherlands.
Over the years, I have built an international career working across various disciplines. My earlier work focused on reversing roles and perspectives – often within socially engaged projects.
 

In my recent practice, my personal experiences and emotions have become central. Painting has become my primary medium – one that allows space for both introspection and expression.

My paintings continue to carry the same socially conscious spirit as my previous projects, but with a renewed focus on nature and the subtle ways in which we experience, understand, and shape the world around us.

That same act of reversal and looking differently remains at the core of my work.

I graduated cum laude in Graphic Design from the University of the West of England (UWE) and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. I have also taught as a guest lecturer at institutions including Columbia University, Pace University, Shiv Nadar University, ArtEZ University, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.
 

For me, painting is a way to connect – with myself, with others, and with the world we live in.
