About
I am an audiovisual artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
My art shows a wide variety of styles and forms. Sometimes cartoonish and absurd, sometimes gloomy and grim. The artworks offer at times a critical and ironic view on life and art itself. As an artist I am interested in the unruly and sometimes surreal nature of life. I view it as a flowing river in an everchanging landscape. We, as people ‘drifting’ along with it searching for purpose. Art and exploration is needed to guide us through this uncharted territory.
A recurring theme in my work is the artificial divide that often is made between the organic world, and manmade structures and technology. With the rise of AI the question of what ‘nature’ really is becomes ever more relevant.
