I graduated in 2019 from the Art Academy in Utrecht, in my childhood I was always fascinated by movement in natural phenomena and characteristics of different materials. My grandparents used to work with ceramics, and during my studies I found the same love for this material.
In my work I strive for a connection with the spectator through space, how we relate to space and how it reaches the purity of perception. Shapes and lines interact with each other through movement, light and shadows, which all define space among volume, color and material.
Poetry speaks with words to our imagination, trough rhythm, rhyme, lines and verse. With the minimalistic approach in my work, I try to connect to our imagination and personal association through geometry, repetition and recognition. I believe this recognition is connected to purity of form and material and the repetitive nature of both our natural and created environment.
Ceramics play a main role in my work, its earthiness and hidden characteristics, such as texture and sound. This material’s properties are enhanced by small details that are made from another material. These compositions are a valuable component in my work.
