A look inside my studio
Kunstpunt Groningen visited my studio and wrote a piece about my work, my background, and the way I approach painting and making art.
Every now and then it’s good to pause, step back, and look at where the work actually happens — not just the finished murals or paintings out in the world, but the messy, chaotic, honest place where it all starts.
I originally studied architecture and construction, but I pretty quickly realized that what I really needed was a space where I could experiment, take risks, and build something from nothing — without having to follow the rules. That’s where drawing, graffiti, and eventually painting became the place where everything clicked.
My work moves between realism and abstraction, and I often mix in pixel-like structures — fragments, blocks, interruptions. It’s something that feels natural to me: we live in a digital world, and that digital language has found its way into how I look at images, surfaces, and reality itself.
A lot of what I do also comes from the places around me. Whether it’s a wall in the city or a canvas in the studio, I don’t like overthinking things beforehand. I’d rather arrive, look, feel what’s there, and respond to it. For me, making art is about being present — and reflecting something back to the world without trying to explain it away.
