My interdisciplinary art practice consists of painting, poetry and performance. Through my work I explore and deepen a connection with the natural world from my city background. The paintings portray landscapes and young people.

I romanticize the landscape, by depicting fairytale-like and pristine nature, which I disturb with contemporary looking subjects. The subjects rest, play or just muddle along. In this way I emphasize the animal nature of human beings to show that we are also part of the natural world. With the paintings I want to evoke a tension that questions the relationship between human and nature.
Painter based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
