I do illustrations, murals and screenprints. The subject of my work finds it’s origin in human nature. It is about life in a natural environment that is constantly changing, and the challenges we face during this infinite transformation. I’m interested in where we come from and where we are going. My personal journey is about finding a balance in life. In which I am true to my nature, while playing my part in the society of today. My work is a visual logbook, in which the discoveries I make, and the challenges I encounter, are captured.
I imitate the shapes and colours that characterises nature and draw the movements of plants and animals. The lines and shapes that I observe have become part of my visual language. I’m searching for a sense of balance and continuity in the image. In order to visualise flow, and unity.
My work is done by hand. All drawings are made in my sketchbooks. Using acrylic markers and colored pencil. If you want to get an insight in my process, follow instagram.
