Who am I?

I am a visual artist from the Netherlands, and I draw inspiration from art history, pop culture, and everything everyday in life. From love to music to fashion. As an artist I put my own spin on well-known images and flip them around to create something completely new.

I think art is far too serious in general and I want to bring back humor and beauty. Art is life.

I come from the south of the Netherlands. This is close to the Belgian and German borders, an international environment with many different cultures. My first experiences with art began in elementary school with making portraits, comic drawings and doodles, and later I started with graffiti.

In 2014 I completed the art academy in Maastricht.
My work has been seen on the street and during exhibitions, and it is now also widely sold to enthusiasts via Catawiki and therefore my work is in many private collections. From China to America.

Painting is, for me, the ultimate freedom and the way to give meaning to the world.

Shipping:

All artworks are shipped within 3 business days and are packed in double-layer bubble wrap to protect the canvas. Then the outer box is custom-made. For shipping, I use existing boxes for the exterior of the package, so I don’t have to charge extra for shipping. That saves costs and is also better for reusing cardboard!
