I am a painter based in Bakkum, the Netherlands, with a deep-rooted commitment to socially engaged art.

Over the years, I have built an international career, working across performance, film, and installation—always driven by a desire to explore political, social, and human themes.

Today, I choose to focus solely on painting—a medium that allows for both introspection and bold expression.

​

My paintings carry the same socially conscious spirit, now with a renewed focus on nature, human connection, and the subtle ways we see, believe, and relate to the world around us.

​

I hold a Cum Laude degree in Graphic Design from the University of the West of England (UWE) and a Fine Arts degree from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. I’ve also shared my practice as a guest lecturer at institutions including Columbia University, Pace University, Shiv Nadar University, Artez University, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

Painting, for me, is a way to connect—with ourselves, each other, and the world we inhabit.
