Art with something to say
I believe that art should continue to reveal itself over time.
The longer you look, the more you discover.
My work is a playful exploration of colour, shape and the stories beneath the surface.
Inspired by personal experiences, everyday observations and the things that intrigue or challenge me, I translate ideas into layered, geometric artworks.
Some pieces are bold and expressive, others more subtle. But they all invite you to look beyond what you see at first glance.
I love how colour, depth and shadow can bring an artwork to life, revealing something different as you move around it.
And while every piece has its own story, what you discover in it is entirely yours.
From design to art
Before focusing fully on my artistic practice, I spent many years working as a graphic designer and art director.
That background continues to shape my work today.
A designer learns to think about balance, composition, scale and visual impact. As an artist, I apply those same principles in a different way, creating artworks that communicate through colour, material and form rather than words.
The transition from design to art felt like a natural evolution: from helping organisations tell their stories to creating work that allows viewers to create their own.
A fascination with layers
One of the defining characteristics of my work is the use of layering.
Whether through colour, material or structure, I am drawn to the idea that beauty often reveals itself gradually.
From a distance, a piece may appear calm and geometric. Up close, new textures, transitions and details emerge.
This balance between simplicity and complexity is at the heart of my work.
Background
I studied Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam, where I developed my fascination for colour, composition and material exploration.
Over the years, my work has been further enriched by a career in graphic design, combining artistic freedom with a deep appreciation for structure, detail and visual harmony.
