Artist Statement

My deep fascination with nature and animals drives me to create worlds where humans and creatures are magically connected. I work with a variety of media—including artificial intelligence, textiles, 3D printing, digital illustration, and traditional painting—often combining them to craft innovative and unique pieces.

With a background that bridges both art and science—shaped by my studies at SintLucas and the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, and a childhood immersed in both disciplines—I’m drawn to the creative as well as the technical dimensions of art. During my travels through Oceania, I developed a profound appreciation for nomadic prints, which have become a lasting influence in my work. Before beginning a piece, I immerse myself in researching shapes, structures, colors, materials, and various species of flora and fauna.

My work celebrates the beauty and complexity of life by blending specialized techniques with personal stories and experiences. It offers a moment of refuge from the harshness of reality, inviting viewers to focus on the softer, more enchanting sides of existence.
