[ artist statement ]
I was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands. My youth was spent living in
Bolivia, Italy, the United States and Peru. At the start of my
teenage years my family and I moved back to the Netherlands, where I
have lived ever since.
My work is a visualization of my reflection on the human condition,
as personally experienced. I focus on the human figure, its shape,
positions and facial expressions in order to contemplate this.
I use the human figure as a means to this end, as something to
hold onto whilst conveying the deepest emotions I experience.
