Tilburg, the Netherlands
Working in sculpture, drawing and installation

When the global landscape seems to be at the mercy of its own turbulence, it is essential to stay attentive to the most meaningful aspects of life. Aside from walking, studying, and spending time with loved ones, I find fulfilment and a deeper understanding of our world through working with sculpture and drawing.

Much of what I do stems from a desire to grasp metaphysical ideas and expand on our ever-evolving views thereof. In an attempt to figure out these ontological principles in a visual and spatial way, I also aim to create new opportunities that reveal — or at least allow us to sense — the ways in which the phenomenal world comes into being.

By elaborating on the interplay between imagination and experience, I want to invite others into a revitalising worldview that perceives reality and its myriad qualities, meanings, and characteristics as one unfolding process of becoming. Since, time and again, artistic practice reminds me of our profound role in the greater expression of Nature as a self-discovering whole.
