Introduction to my Works

“Every work is an investigation and an inner exploration of what has been locked up in lots of years of shame. A trajectory to find myself through my work and becoming myself again. By giving the “self” the right to existence after losing it by complying with and satisfying the other(s). The process to become whole again.”


These expressions are aimed to be beautiful but do not always reach this target, nor are they zen. It can be childish, grieving, or downright ugly. This search for my self is only possible by no longer wanting to live up to, to meet the expectations of the other, the expectations of society. The self can only be found again by rediscovering my own boundaries, after years of crossing those boundaries, until they faded away and I no longer knew who I was. I look for these boundaries again.


My work is also (contradictory) a process towards liberation. On this trajectory I discover internalized limiting beliefs and investigate the process to get beyond those limiting beliefs. How I can escape from that which holds me captive.

From an early age I tried to escape the limitations of a body, first by disappearing into reading and fantasy, then by addiction and later through movement and dancing until ecstasy.

Moving images are occupying an important place in my work. It is the depiction of flow in space.

In addition to movement also shame, radiance and direction are important. Shame that kept me small, inconspicuous, I counter by using loud and lots of color, to make myself visible and no longer hide what mostly results in a chaotic, energized piece.

I am researching how I can apply radiance and direction in to my work, this is an ongoing process.
