Artwork description:

When seeing my work for the first time, most people believe they’re looking at paintings, but they’re actually looking at digital photographic artworks.
To make these images, I start with multiple-exposed photographs of scenes that I either find or build myself with various materials. Then I intuitively process these images in the digital realm to remove, accentuate or alter elements of the composition. Both phases are equally important in the creation of the final image.

My work is purely emotional. There are no hidden messages. Just like a song can transport the listener to a different space and time, even if the lyrics are not clear, I want my images to move people, to take them on a trip to a fictional place or situation, to a different relationship with different people. I want to take them to a place where emotions are intense.

I was selected for New Dutch Photography Talent and FRESH EYES by GUP magazine.

"FRESH EYES celebrates the best photography talent in Europe. It is a book presenting the 100 greatest emerging photographers the continent has to offer. The first edition, FRESH EYES 2019, was launched in June 2019."

From an edition of 7 (+3 AP). Also available in a separate edition of larger print sizes.

Signed on a label on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
