About

Currently working and living…

Born 1983, lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

'For me a work works when its makes sense in nonsense. When we can laugh about the absurdity, but take it seriously at the same time. I want the viewer to reconsider the situation by creating minimalistic interventions that are often humorous or/and poetic.'
