I love to venture into the unknown. Looking for new ways to portray life.
I specifically look for things that are somehow magically playful. Often I take the misty memories of people, places or things as a starting point and then I intuitively alter them, change them in to something that is new for me.

In my studio I like to surround myself with a great variety of materials that I can just pick up when they feel useful. Lately my main materials are polymer clay, textiles and acrylic paint. They give me the possibility to work direct and flexible. But they are often enriched by woods, paper and metals like, bronze and gold.

I’m working together with galleries, museums, companies and individuals.
I teach at the Design Academy Eindhoven.

Together with my wife, three kids and a community of likeminded people I live and work on the outskirts of the town Almere.

You can follow my weekly updates on Instagram and you are always welcome to drop me an email or make an appointment for a studio visit.
