About Me

Putting art into your soul

My work does not arise from a preconceived plan, but from an encounter between technique, matter and the moment. I start from the craft, the physical act, and let the work unfold in dialogue with the energy of the now. Every trace, every reaction of the material is meaningful. Oxidation in particular plays a key role in this : it is a process that lives, breathes and gives form even before I intervene.

In this interaction, the work begins to speak back to me. It tells me where it wants to go, what direction it is looking for. I listen, react and translate impressions, events and inner movements into a visual story. Not an illustration, but a translation - abstract, layered, open.

The power of the image does not impose itself, but invites. It evokes, suggests and leaves space. The viewer does not become an outsider but a participant. Someone who can step into the work, feel it, read it and make it their own.

In this way, each work becomes a shared experience - between maker, subject matter and viewer.

REPORT

Your work is narrative in a very free way: You give suggestions, in an associative way. You give a direction to the viewer. The figurations make part of a work in an “illogical” way, but very “natural”. The images sprout the illustrative and the figurative: The image finds itself because you deal precisely with figuration. Humour, punk, freedom... You create archetypal images and use visual elements to create certain focuses (sometimes reminiscent of Walter Swennen's work). They are images that stay with you. Painting over images, connecting graphics and painting works very freshly. Integrating graphics and digital work is also top notch!

Very strong work, super!
