Resume
Born in Amsterdam and often relocated, also abroad, it's no surprise that the ever-changing is part of my visual work.
Trained as a visual artist working with all kinds of materials including textile has made me sensitive to surfaces. The drawings and the painted drawings are made by putting layer upon layer.
In my drawings I explore sight, the ever-changing, time and complementary concepts like straightness and fluidity, wholeness and the partial.
I'm fascinated by the line and how repetition creates a surface. When I work with color I love to play with the degree of saturation and tone.
