ABOUT

As a multidisciplinary artist I emphasize performativity in my works. The mediums I choose range from theatre, visual arts, installation, mixed reality (MR/VR) and artistic research.

My works often start with the fascination of a very simple element that I encounter – a feeling, an environmental detail or a simple shape and colour. I abstract that element to build the basis of an artistic concept. This concept I quickly put into space in playful manners to research how this element is relating to the space-that-is-there. While the results are often very entangled in a specific location, my goal is always to create a work that could be put anywhere – and as such, completely change the story it brings.

As an artist specializing in scenography, time, space, and the spectator play crucial roles in my work. Whether I work with technology, completely analogue or pure imagination, the experience of an overal aesthetic atmosphere should be what drives an emotional experience of the artwork.

Through my professional career I hope to bring more spatial and experiental poetry into the visual and performative fields of art. I strive to collaborate on this as much as possible, with people ofcourse, but also materials and spaces. During the making I put a lot of emphasis on the dramaturgy of my designs – how can I make it relate on a deeper level to the others’ – actors, architecture, stories – that are sharing the space?

Next to my work as a practicing artist, I greatly enjoy academic adventures as well. As a freelancer, I’m always open to be contacted about work for education, tutoring or research.
