My artistic projects originate in a motley collection of inspirations that intrigue me and grab me in one way or another: a cabinet of curiosities of faded photographs, eccentric artefacts, design pieces, nature scenes,... The diversity of beauty excites my imagination.
I dive deep into the rich traditions of realism but add a modern twist that shows my passion for color, texture, and patterns.
My palette is vibrant and bold, drenched with tints that make emotions and memories surface.
My recognisable eclectic style often exudes an air of nostalgia and sentiment, a nod to the aesthetics of days gone by. My affinity for vintage and retro is evident in my work. In doing so, I do not shy away from a touch of kitsch or humour, as an embrace of the playful and sometimes absurdly beautiful aspects of life.
