I'm a visual artist based in Amsterdam. One of my main practices is silk-screen printing. I use this technique in a rather free way, printing by hand, sometimes in combination with drawing and painting. My work consists of 2 dimensional work on paper and textile as well as wearable objects (body- based art).

In recent years the main focus of my work is in depicting everyday life objects in relation to time and place, memory and present. These graphic objects are printed as singular images or in patterns, inspired by principles of Pop-Art.

For example, a series of old tv screens featuring abstract compositions of colours. Another example is a series of phone screens featuring images from historic and prehistoric origins (Egyptian coffin portraits, dinosaurs etc.).
The main interest here is the contrast between digital and analogue, current and eternal.

In early years I have been studying art history and was granted a scholarship in poetry writing. I graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld art academy Amsterdam in 2005. During this time I also spent 2 semesters at the Vienna University of Applied Arts, specialising in the silk-screen technique at the university's textile workshop.

Recently I have spent a residency period in Berlin, working at the silk-screen workshop of the BBK artist association.

My work was presented in different publications, exhibitions and art projects in the Netherlands and abroad, including Kunstmuseum The Hague, Vorarlberg museum, Austria, Woolwich Contemporary Print-Fair London 2022, and more.

My work is mainly produced at my studio in Amsterdam, which is also a silk-screen workshop.
